Cosmetic Tooth & Tissue Contouring
Gummy Smiles
Many patients complain of their “gummy” smile. This reaction is simply the result of too much of the gum showing. Even if patients are not initially aware of the impact of their gums, much like the cuticles on a fingernail, the gums can grow down over the teeth and can make them look short and fat, instead of sleek and sexy, like Mother Nature intended. Uneven gums can play other tricks on a smile, making the teeth look slanted or unusually large or unshapely.
Gum tissue is a crucial component in properly framing a beautiful smile and needs to be considered when it comes to the overall success or aesthetic beauty of the smile. Contouring the excess gum tissue is a relatively easy procedure. It can be accomplished in one visit and can result in dramatic improvements to your smile. If you feel self conscious about a gummy smile, ask us about the possibility of gum contouring!
Tooth contouring and reshaping
Tooth contouring and reshaping is one of few “instant” treatments now available in cosmetic dentistry. Dental reshaping and contouring is a procedure that can aesthetically improve certain misaligned teeth, chipped teeth, or even overlapping in just one session. Tooth reshaping and dental contouring is commonly used to alter the length or shape of a tooth.
This procedure is ideal for candidates with normal healthy teeth, but who want subtle changes to their smile. A few millimeters of reduction can often enhance a beautiful smile with no discomfort to you!
