Gummy Smile Treatment in Ceres, CA

What is Gum Contouring?

Gum contouring, also known as gingivectomy or gum reshaping, is a dental procedure designed to improve the shape, height, or proportion of your gums. The process involves removing or sculpting excess gum tissue, revealing more of your natural teeth, and creating a harmonious gum line. This treatment can help with:

• Correcting a “gummy smile,” where gums cover too much of your teeth.

• Evening out an uneven gum line for better aesthetics.

• Reducing periodontal pockets to improve gum health.

At Trinity Dental, we use advanced tools like dental lasers or traditional techniques to deliver precise and comfortable results tailored to your smile.

 

Who Can Benefit from Gum Contouring?

You might be an ideal candidate for gum contouring if:

• You feel your gums overshadow your teeth, creating a “gummy” appearance.

• Your gum line is uneven or asymmetrical.

• You have excess gum tissue caused by genetics, medications, or braces.

• You want to reduce periodontal pockets to improve oral hygiene.

• You’re looking for a cosmetic solution to enhance the proportions of your smile.

 

What to Expect During the Procedure

 

Step 1: Consultation and Personalized Planning
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. Our team will assess your gums, teeth, and overall oral health. Together, we’ll discuss your goals and craft a customized treatment plan to ensure your smile looks and feels its best.

 

Step 2: The Procedure
On the day of your appointment, we’ll use a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Depending on your needs, we’ll use either a scalpel or advanced laser technology to remove or reshape gum tissue. If necessary, the procedure may also include reshaping the bone beneath the gums for optimal results.

 

Step 3: Recovery and Results
After the procedure, you can expect minor swelling or tenderness for a few days. Most patients return to normal activities within a week. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, including dietary recommendations and hygiene tips to support healing.
