Creative Gum Sculpting

Gummy smile? Asymmetrical gumline? How the gums frame the teeth can make a significant difference in the appearance of your smile.

Aesthetic resculpting of the gumline will often put the final touches on the smile, like the ribbon on a package. Symmetry on the gumline is just as important as having symmetrical edges on the teeth. In my orthodontic office I use two basic ways to recontour the gums.

When the gums are healthy and need mild alterations, I use a laser. The advantage of using a laser is that there is no bleeding and relatively no discomfort following the orthodontic procedure. The recovery time is rapid and results are beautiful.

In moderate to advanced gumline alterations, I use a combination of orthodontic tooth repositioning with laser recontouring, or more advanced gum surgery, repositioning the bone as well as the gum tissue. Sound aggressive? Not really. When it contributes to a life-changing result, I have never heard anyone say they wish they never did it!

Our office is located in Santa Rosa, but we welcome patients in from San Francisco, Sonoma County & Bay Area.
