Dental veneers are an excellent, effective, fast cosmetic treatment that can help you achieve the smile of your dream. They look and feel like your natural teeth, can address multiple tooth issues, and can be combined with other cosmetic dentistry options. Also, the great advantage of dental veneers is that they require no special care besides daily brushing and flossing. What should you know before getting veneers and how to prepare for them? Among other things, you may need gum contouring. Dental veneers and gum contouring often go hand in hand and ideally work together to give you a beautiful and straight smile.
Gum contouring (also called gum reshaping) is a cosmetic procedure that can correct visible flaws of gums and may be necessary when your gums rest too low or too high on your teeth, and you are not satisfied with the appearance of your smile. For example, uneven gums can make your teeth abnormally small or large. In some cases, if the gums are uneven, no matter how many veneers you have, the smile will still appear not straight. This is because there may be more gum showing in some areas. Removing some extra gum tissue is necessary for some patients to create space for porcelain veneers. Suppose there is no excess tissue, but the gum line is uneven. Gum contouring can help eliminate that minor imperfection, create the perfect canvas for the veneers, and dramatically improve your smile.
Benefits of Gum Contouring
- This procedure is an excellent option for people with excess gum tissue that extends down onto their teeth because it easily removes all excess gum tissue.
- It can create a more even gum line for those patients who suffer from jagged, uneven gum lines.
- The treatment is highly safe, and the results are permanent.
- Gum contouring promotes overall good dental health by addressing any problems with your gums that could be putting your teeth at risk.
