What is the best treatment for a gummy smile?

Do you have a gummy smile? Does it keep you from smiling, laughing, and socializing with others? If you feel self-conscious about your smile, you may want to consider laser gum contouring and lifts with our Berkeley, California dental team at Transcendentist. Drs. Ruhi Sangha and Praj Kamat are dentists available for new and returning clients who can educate clients on the advantages of treatment for a gummy smile with gum contouring using our high-tech laser devices.

How do gum contouring and laser gum lifts work?

This minimally invasive procedure removes excess gum tissue, revealing more of your teeth and creating a more balanced smile. It reshapes uneven or asymmetrical gum lines, giving you a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. In addition to improving the appearance of your smile, gum contouring also improves your oral health by removing pockets where bacteria can hide and cause infection. Infection can develop into periodontal disease, an irreversible problem that can significantly impact not only your oral health but the health of your whole body.

What can I expect from my gum contouring treatment?

Our dental team uses state-of-the-art laser technology for this procedure, making it quick, precise, and virtually painless. The laser light cauterizes as it cuts, minimizing bleeding and promoting faster healing times. It also reduces the risk of infection since the high heat can kill off bacteria at the same time. When you schedule your gum lift and contouring treatment, we ensure you are comfortable from start to finish and know what to expect afterward in terms of post-treatment care and attention for your teeth and gums.
