Why might I need Laser Gingival Recontouring or Gingivoplasty?
The following are just some of the conditions that might require Gingival Recontouring or Gingivoplasty:
Excessive Gum Tissue: If you have an overly gummy smile, Laser Gingival Recontouring can remove excess gum tissue to achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Uneven Gum Line: Gingivoplasty can address an uneven gum line, reshaping the gums to create a symmetrical and balanced appearance around the teeth.
Gum Recession: For individuals experiencing gum recession, Gingivoplasty can help restore the gum tissue's natural position, protecting the roots of the teeth roots and improving overall oral health.
Crown Lengthening: Laser Gingival Recontouring can be performed to expose more of the tooth's surface, providing more space for dental restorations like
crowns or
veneers.
Periodontal Health: WIth some instances of gum disease or inflammation, Laser Gingival Recontouring and Gingivoplasty can be used to remove infected tissue, aiding in periodontal health improvement.
Enhanced Dental Cosmetics: Both procedures are used in cosmetic dentistry to enhance the overall appearance of the smile by achieving harmonious gum contours and ideal tooth-to-gum ratios.
