GUM LINE CORRECTION

Gum-Line-Correction
Gum line correction, also known as gum contouring, is a highly effective technique used here at Guildford Smiles to reshape our patients’ gums if they are feeling self-conscious or feel that they have a gummy smile. Everyone has things that make them unhappy in terms of their dental health, and it’s normal for most individuals to be insecure about misaligned or yellow teeth, but it’s also common for people to dislike the appearance of their gums. Some people may feel they are showing too much gum when they smile, or some might have receding gums. Gum line correction can help with these insecurities and fix the problem helping you to feel more confident again.

Gum recession is caused by a number of factors, including gum disease, genetics or even some types of prescription medication. If you’re suffering from gum disease, the gum line correction procedure could also help cure this problem by restoring the receding gums.

WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT GUM LINE CORRECTION?

Gum line correction is a treatment method to change and enhance the look of your gums. It can be used to resculpt your gums to give you the desired look. If you have an excess of gum tissue, this can be trimmed to leave you with the correct amount. If your gums have receded, your dentist can use a technique called ‘grafting’ to help restore this lost gum tissue.

The loss of papillae can be a major concern for many people, and it is one of the main reasons people choose to recieve gum contouring treatment. Papillae is the small triangle of gum between teeth, which, if lost, can result in an unattractive dark triangle. Gum line correction is a fantastic way to even out your gums and make this problem much less obvious.

IS IT PAINFUL?

Every person’s gum line correction is different, and the amount of pain you experience will vary depending on how much your gums are being altered. You will likely be medicated during the procedure, which will help stop the pain. After the treatment, you may have to restrict your diet to soft foods for the first few days. As this is a reasonably significant treatment, your gums will be very sensitive, and harder foods could easily irritate them, so you need to be careful.

WHAT IS A GUM LIFT?

A gum lift is one of the most popular choices of gum correction procedures. This will trim down excess gums or restore receded gums with soft tissue grafting. A gum lift will help your teeth to appear longer and more proportionate to the rest of your smile.

Did you know that your gum line can make a big difference in how people see the overall appearance of your face? Contouring your gums into alignment will help create an even and symmetrical look, hopefully eliminating any insecurity.
