What is Gum Recontouring?

Gum recontouring in Castle Rock is a permanent procedure that reshapes your gumline to create a more symmetrical, aesthetically pleasing smile. Using a safe, precise soft-tissue laser, your dentist will remove the excess gum tissue covering your teeth, revealing more of their natural structure so they appear bigger, bolder, and more central to your gorgeous grin.
How Does Gum Recontouring Work?

Gum recontouring in Castle Rock is a safe, efficient, permanent cosmetic dentistry treatment. To begin, your dentist will first apply a local anesthetic to your gums (if you need additional help with getting comfortable, we also offer sedation options). Once you’re ready, he or she will use the soft-tissue laser to carefully remove only the extra gum tissue. Because it works by using a beam of concentrated light to vaporize the tissue, this device cauterizes as it goes, eliminating the need for sutures, reducing bleeding, and lowering the odds of developing an infection during the healing process. In most cases, the entire treatment can be done in just one appointment, and because your results are permanent, you shouldn’t need any touchups or redoes in the future!
The Benefits of Gum Recontouring

In addition to providing a wider, bolder smile, gum recontouring in Castle Rock has some incredible oral health benefits, too! For starters, when you have less superfluous periodontal tissue, it’s much easier to maintain your oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing techniques. This translates to healthier teeth and gums, and a lower risk of irritation and periodontal disease.
Furthermore, because your smile looks and feels better, you’ll benefit from an added boost of confidence that can make it easier to excel both personally and professionally!
