What Is Gum Contouring?
When you elect to undergo gum contouring, Dr. Gomez carefully removes excess gum tissue surrounding your teeth. Should you struggle with gum recession, we can restore the gum tissue to offer you an even, aesthetically appealing smile. While gum contouring is frequently an elective procedure, we may recommend undergoing this treatment to improve your oral health.
Contrary to popular belief, crafting your dream smile doesn’t necessarily include restorative work on your teeth themselves. Gum contouring allows our team to effectively address elements of your appearance that you may not be entirely comfortable with. If you have a gummy smile or one tooth that appears to be a different length, we can reshape the structure of your gums to balance your smile more evenly.
Our Efficient Surgical Process
Our Winnipeg periodontist works closely with you, taking the time to understand what you’re looking to get out of your cosmetic gum surgery and answering any questions you have. Your comfort, safety, and satisfaction with the treatment’s results are our team’s focus at all times.
We begin your treatment by applying a local anesthetic to your gums to numb the areas where the procedure takes place. To provide a more comfortable experience, our practice also offers oral and nitrous sedation. We’ll discuss these options with you before beginning the treatment, along with the possibility of deeper sedation methods for patients with dental anxiety.
After numbing your gums, Dr. Gomez removes excess gum tissue with care and precision and sculpts your gumline to expose greater surface area of your teeth. If you’re dealing with a receding gumline, she reinforces the affected areas with additional tissue and secures it in place. By restructuring your gums, we can help create a more even-looking smile and help you maintain your dental health.
Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Cosmetic Gum Surgery
We want you to be informed regarding all of our gum treatments, so you are well-equipped to make better choices for your well-being. Our team has compiled some of the most frequently asked questions regarding cosmetic gum surgery here for your benefit. If you have additional questions, please call our office, and we’ll happily answer them!
The length of the procedure varies due to the amount of sculpting needed and the extent of contouring required. On average, cosmetic gum surgery takes 1-to-2 hours to complete.
Dr. Gomez strives to make your treatment as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Depending on the extent of the treatment, you may experience mild numbness and tenderness following the procedure. Applying a cold compress or ice pack to your mouth for a few days following the treatment can help reduce post-operative pain. Should you experience continued discomfort, our team is readily available to assist you.
It’s essential to give your gums time to heal fully. Everyone recovers at a different rate following a surgical procedure, so it may take several days or a couple of weeks for your restructured gums to recover.
Our Winnipeg periodontist gives you a list of dietary recommendations to follow in the days after your operation, to minimize discomfort and pain while eating. We strongly suggest avoiding hard and sticky foods during the recovery period. Our team works with you to schedule a convenient check-up with Dr. Gomez, so she can see how you’re healing and make sure there are no signs of infection.
