Your Smile Can Benefit From Cosmetic Gum Procedures

Dr. Rafferty may recommend cosmetic gum surgery for various reasons. Often, it’s the appearance of an uneven gumline or too much of your gumline covering your teeth. This may not only affect your smile’s beauty, but it can also get in the way of comfortable oral hygiene. Your dentist can create a balanced frame for your teeth, allowing you to show more of them when you smile.

Depending on your needs, Dr. Rafferty may recommend:

  • Gum Reshaping – Also known as contouring, this treatment sculpts the gumline to create an even smile. Using precise equipment, your dentist removes excess tissue. You’ll achieve an even gumline that you feel good showing off. It can also lengthen the appearance of too-short teeth. Dr. Rafferty also may recommend it to expose more dental surface prior to treatments like crowns.
  • Gum Recession Treatment – If you have receded gums, your dentist may recommend grafting. It involves taking tissue from another part of your mouth and securing it where your gums have receded. The result is a healthier appearance. It also offers protection for exposed roots, preventing further recession.

You may consider combining your treatment with other cosmetic procedures. Teeth whitening can brighten your smile and eliminate tooth stains. You can also get dental crowns to cover up dental flaws, address damage, or restore your tooth after decay.

Common Questions About Cosmetic Gum Surgery
What is cosmetic gum surgery?

Cosmetic gum surgery, also known as gum contouring, is a dental procedure designed to reshape the gum line for aesthetic purposes. It typically involves removing excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth crown, addressing issues like a gummy smile or uneven gum lines. This procedure can also be used to add gum tissue in cases where recession has occurred, helping to create a more balanced and attractive smile.

How much does cosmetic gum surgery cost?

Gum contouring prices can differ significantly depending on your smile and treatment extent. Without a personalized exam, it’s difficult to provide an exact figure. We invite you to book a consultation with your dentist, where they can evaluate your specific needs, discuss your goals, and provide a more precise cost estimate.

Is cosmetic gum surgery uncomfortable?

While the surgery itself is not painful due to anesthesia, some post-operative discomfort is common. The level of pain varies among patients, but it’s generally described as mild to moderate and comparable to other dental procedures. Recovery is usually quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days.
