What is Gingival Recontouring?

Gingival recontouring, or gum contouring or reshaping, is a cosmetic dental procedure offered in Beverly Hills that’s designed to improve the appearance of the gums and your teeth. It involves removing excess gum tissue to reshape the gum line, creating a more balanced and symmetrical appearance. This procedure is often performed to address gummy smiles, where your gums appear too prominent or uneven, or to correct gum recession, where the gums have pulled away from the teeth, exposing more of the tooth structure. Gingival recontouring can enhance the overall aesthetics of the smile, making the teeth appear longer and more proportionate.

What Are the Benefits of Gingival Recontouring?

Some of the many benefits of gingival recontouring include:

  • Improved aesthetics
  • Correcting smiles
  • Treating gum recession
  • Enhancing oral health
  • Boosting self-confidence

How many
appointments will I need?

Gingival recontouring in Los Angeles typically requires only one appointment. However, a follow-up visit may be scheduled to monitor your healing process and ensure optimal gum health. Dr. Costescu will discuss the specifics of your treatment plan during your consultation at Signature Dental in Beverly Hills.

What to Expect on the Day of a Gingival Recontouring Treatment

When you arrive for your gingival recontouring treatment at our state-of-the-art Beverly Hills office, expect a professional and comfortable experience aimed at effectively reshaping your gum tissue. The procedure begins with the application of a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. A Periodontist carefully sculpts and reshapes the gum line using specialized tools and techniques to achieve a more harmonious and aesthetic appearance. This may involve removing excess gum tissue to reveal more of the tooth structure or adjusting uneven gum lines around specific teeth, all tailored to your unique dental anatomy and cosmetic goals.

Once the desired shape and size of the gums are achieved, the area is thoroughly rinsed and cleaned. You’ll receive post-operative care instructions, including recommendations for oral hygiene practices and any necessary medications to manage discomfort or promote healing.

Gingival Recontouring Recovery

Gum contouring is relatively painless and requires minimal downtime. In fact, most of our patients are able to return to their normal lives the day after treatment. However, it is common to experience sore, swollen, or sensitive gums. Generally, these symptoms fade within ten days of treatment.
