At Golden Valley Dental Care, we offer expert gum contouring services to enhance the aesthetics of your smile and boost your confidence.
Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or sculpting, is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves removing excess gum tissue or reshaping the gum line to create a more proportionate and attractive smile. Using advanced techniques and precise tools, Dr. Lawrence Nguyen, DDS, ensures a comfortable and minimally invasive experience.
The procedure begins with a thorough examination to determine the best course of action for your unique needs. Local anesthesia is used to ensure your comfort during the treatment. Using a specialized laser or surgical tool, we gently remove excess gum tissue and sculpt the gum line to reveal more of your teeth. The process is highly precise, allowing us to create a natural and symmetrical appearance.
Gum contouring offers both aesthetic and functional benefits. In addition to improving the appearance of your smile, it can also make oral hygiene easier by reducing areas where plaque and bacteria tend to accumulate. For patients with gum disease, contouring may be part of a comprehensive treatment plan to restore gum health.
At Golden Valley Dental Care, we're committed to helping you achieve a smile you can be proud of. If you're interested in gum contouring, schedule a consultation with us today to learn more about the procedure and how it can transform your smile.
