The search for a pleasant smile is always on the rise, and teeth are closely linked to one’s self-esteem. It also becomes essential in determining one’s social relationships and looking for a job. The shape of the teeth is considered necessary for having a beautiful smile. Therefore, many people decide to undergo Gum Contouring in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah.
Aim of Treatment:
The treatment aims to change the gums’ shape to eliminate defects and flaws. The specialist may prescribe either a partial or straightforward removal of gum tissue or a more complex operation, including removing the bone tissue. If a small amount of tissue is removed, a diode laser and anesthesia can be used. And if it is necessary to remove more tissues and at the same time a part of the bone is removed, the method of lengthening the tooth crown is used.
Results:
The treatment will result in a significant improvement in the gumline. The receding or extended gum line will be fixed to appear normal. The patient will get an improved smile. However, the result will depend on the patient’s oral care and hygiene habits.
Benefits:
The treatment has the following advantages:
- Fix the tissues in teeth where they extend lower than others resulting in a straighter, more symmetrical smile.
- It can also fix the gum line that is too high or because of the gum recession.
- The duration of treatment is not too long.
- Gum Line can be improved without leaving a scar behind.
Ideal Candidate:
The treatment is an excellent option for people who have a high, low, or uneven gum line that makes them self-conscious. Talk to an experienced dentist to learn more about the treatment and complete an assessment of the issue and the treatment options available to you.
Treatment Options:
The dentist will evaluate the condition and desired results, after which he will decide the most suitable treatment option for you. some of the treatment options are discussed below:
Surgical Treatment:
Gingivectomy is performed to improve the condition of the gums. It gives the gums the correct shape and form and eliminates all existing defects. It works by removing the excess gum tissue and reshaping the gums to reveal more of the tooth’s surface.
Laser Treatment:
The treatment works by reshaping the gums making them appear more prominent. It is a straightforward treatment which can be done in a single session. Laser is used to cut the gums and all the excess is removed. It also seals the vessels and does not cause swelling or redness after the treatment. The treatment is entirely painless and does not cause any discomfort.
Veneers:
If completely non-surgical treatment is required and the client is looking to restore the balance between the size and shape of gums and teeth veneers will be the best option. This is the best treatment for people who have teeth that appear too small.
The thin sheets are applied on top of the teeth which gives a natural result. The veneers will fit perfectly according to your needs and desired results as they are manufactured for your teeth specifically.
