Your smile is often the first trait that people notice about you. If you work hard to keep your teeth healthy and white, the last thing you’d want is for the focal point of your grin to be your pink gum tissue. On the flip side of that coin, you also don’t want your smile to be predominantly overrun by your teeth. Achieving the right balance between your teeth and gums is essential not only for aesthetics, but also for maintaining optimal oral health.
In many cases, concerns about the appearance of your gums can be linked to underlying issues such as gum disease. Redness, swelling, uneven gum lines, or excess gum tissue can all impact how your smile looks and feels. That’s why our team offers several cosmetic gum procedures designed to enhance your smile while supporting healthier gums.
For patients dealing with gum disease, we provide advanced solutions, including laser gum disease treatment. This minimally invasive approach uses precise laser technology to target infected tissue, reduce bacteria, and promote faster healing while preserving as much healthy gum tissue as possible. Laser treatments can also be used to reshape the gum line, creating a more even and attractive appearance.
Whether you’re looking to correct a “gummy” smile, address gum recession, or treat gum disease with modern laser techniques, our experienced team is here to help. Contact us today to schedule an appointment. We proudly serve the Allen, Fairview, Frisco, McKinney, and Plano, TX areas.
Cosmetic gum augmentation is typically performed following a tooth extraction. When a socket is left empty, it can cause the alveolar ridge of the jaw to shrink as you heal after your extraction, causing you to lose your distinct gum contour and creating an indentation in the gums. During this procedure. Our team will restore the original height and width of the alveolar ridge to dramatically improve the appearance of your smile when you restore it.
Esthetic crown lengthening is also commonly referred to as gummy smile correction or gum recontouring. If the majority of your smile is overrun by pink gum tissue, you may not feel like letting your full grin show. This is a common issue that many people face, and fortunately, we can help. We can precisely and strategically reshape your gumline to make it appear more even and reveal more of your dental structure by removing the overgrown tissue. In some cases, this procedure can also be used to ensure that restorations fit perfectly over a tooth.
