Gum Recontouring Questions

Philadelphia, Main Line, and Ardmore, Pennsylvania Cosmetic Dentistry

Why should I consider gum recontouring?

As a cosmetic procedure, gum recontouring can do wonders in improving the quality of your smile. A gum recontouring procedure from Dr. Marshall can bring your gums into proper proportions with your teeth, improving the appearance of your smile and enhancing the natural beauty of your entire face.

Can gum recontouring be used to make my teeth look longer?

Teeth that appear short are one of the primary concerns addressed with gum recontouring. By minimizing excessive gum tissue, more of your tooth will be exposed, providing a much more appealing smile.

How is gum recontouring performed?

At the Philadelphia office of cosmetic dentist Lindsey Marshall, gum recontouring is performed with a soft tissue laser. This laser offers a number of benefits including immediately removing unwanted tissue while sealing the tissue to prevent bleeding and infection. This safe and effective method of gum recontouring is part of our devotion to offering the latest in cosmetic dental technology.

Does gum recontouring hurt?

Gum recontouring is a minimally invasive and painless procedure. Soft tissue lasers do not cut or burn the tissue. Instead, a soft tissue laser will vaporize unwanted gum tissue by breaking down the cellular connections on a microscopic level. If you are concerned about comfort during any dental procedure, talk to Dr. Marshall about your options during your initial consultation.

Is gum recontouring safe?

Yes, gum recontouring is a safe procedure. Performed by an experienced cosmetic dentist like Dr. Marshall, only unnecessary tissue will be removed. Because this tissue is excessive and provides no functional benefit, there will be no harm to your teeth or necessary gum tissue.
