Do you look in the mirror and wish your teeth were longer? Since cosmetic dentistry<\/a> is often centered around the size, shape, and color of your teeth, it\u2019s not unusual to think that\u2019s where the problem lies. In reality, it may be your gums! \u201cGummy\u201d smiles can make your smile appear unbalanced and improperly sized. The good news is that there is a solution: gum recontouring. To learn all about this smile-enhancing treatment, read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

First, What Is Gum Recontouring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If excess gum tissue is causing your smile to look uneven, then your cosmetic dentist may recommend gum recontouring. But what does this treatment involve? In short, it allows your dental team to carefully and meticulously remove tissue from along the gum line, revealing a fuller, more balanced smile in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Is a Candidate for Gum Recontouring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are unhappy with your \u201cgummy\u201d smile, then there is a good chance that you\u2019re a candidate. Of course, the best way to find out is by scheduling an initial consultation. Once your cosmetic dentist has confirmed that your gums are healthy and that no oral health concerns (like cavities) are present, they will put together a custom treatment plan. Note: if you have gum disease, tooth decay, or the like, it\u2019s of the utmost importance that your oral health is restored first. Neglecting to do so can result in complications, like gum recession. Treating oral health concerns beforehand will ensure that you have a healthy foundation for your beautiful new smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the Next Best Step?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scheduling a consultation with your cosmetic dentist! After all, that\u2019s the quickest and most effective way to find out if gum recontouring is the right smile-enhancing treatment for you. If it is, your dentist can review the process in-depth, provide you with a cost estimate, discuss the aftercare instructions, and answer any questions you have along the way. Before you know it, you\u2019ll be a step closer to the beautiful, balanced smile you\u2019ve been dreaming of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
