Gum recontouring, also known as crown lengthening, is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to enhance the appearance of your smile by adjusting the gum line. Dr. Bruce King offers expert gum recontouring services in Los Angeles, California, to help patients achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Gum recontouring involves the careful reshaping of the gum tissue to create a more harmonious smile. This procedure is often recommended for individuals who have excess gum tissue covering their teeth, resulting in a “gummy” smile or an uneven gum line. By removing or reshaping the excess gum tissue, our dentist and team can expose more of the tooth structure, improving both function and appearance.
Benefits of Gum Recontouring:
- Enhanced Aesthetics: The procedure provides a more balanced and proportionate smile by exposing more of the tooth surface and improving the overall appearance of the gum line.
- Improved Function: For some patients, gum recontouring can improve the fit of dental restorations, such as crowns and veneers, by providing better access to the tooth structure.
- Boosted Confidence: A more attractive gum line can enhance your self-esteem and confidence, allowing you to smile more freely and comfortably.
- Minimally Invasive: Gum recontouring is a minimally invasive procedure, typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable experience with minimal recovery time.
