Reshaping Your Gum Line for a More Balanced Smile
Gum Recontouring
RESTORE YOUR GUMS AND BOOST YOUR ORAL HEALTH
Gum recontouring at Artisan Dental’s Burke, VA and Chevy Chase, MD offices is a precise cosmetic procedure that removes excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth surface and create a symmetrical, proportionate smile line.
If you have always felt that your smile looks “gummy” or uneven, recontouring is often a single-visit solution with lasting results.
Our dentists use advanced laser techniques to minimize discomfort and recovery time, making it one of the most efficient cosmetic improvements we offer at both of our Northern Virginia and Maryland locations.
BENEFITS OF GUM RECONTOURING AND GUM GRAFTING
Here are some of the main benefits of getting gum recontouring or gum grafting treatments:
- Enhanced Smile: With gum recontouring, you can say goodbye to your “gummy smile” and hello to a more balanced smile — while gum grafting can help restore a natural and healthy gum line, making your smile look more aesthetically pleasing.
- Reduced Risk of Decay: By correcting uneven or receding gums, these procedures can make it easier to clean teeth properly and reduce the risk of decay.
- Improve Overall Oral Health: Gum recontouring and gum grafting can improve your oral health by reducing the risk of Periodontitis and protecting your teeth in the long run.
