Gum Contouring San Bruno - Who is a candidate for gum contouring?

Dr. Bradley Parker in San Bruno understands how important a perfect smile can be for many individuals who feel self-conscious and ashamed of their teeth. In the field of cosmetic dentistry, there is a lot that can be done to help improve the self-esteem and confidence of a patient who has a less-than-desirable smile. Some patients have gone to Dr. Parker because they are unhappy with their gum line--in some cases, patients feel like their smile is too "gummy" and that their gums make their teeth look too short. Others may have an uneven gum line that can cause their teeth to look crooked or misshaped. When patients complain of such problems, oftentimes a cosmetic procedure such as gum contouring is the ticket to a better-looking smile.

Gum contouring involves the reshaping of the gum line and it can help show more of the natural tooth, and even out a gum line that is not naturally pleasing.Gum contouring is a relatively simple outpatient procedure and is done under local anesthetic and with the aid of a Millenium Dental Laser. The procedure offers permanent results for the individual.

Candidates for gum contouring are those that find their gums to be a source of contention and unhappiness, perhaps a reason for some self-confidence issues as well. For those who feel they could lengthen the appearance of their natural teeth by removing some of their gum line, or for those who feel their smile shows more gum than teeth, they should talk with Dr. Parker about the options available for them when it comes to cosmetic procedures such as gum contouring.
