Miami and Coral Gables, FloridaA gummy smile can make your teeth look too short and your smile look unhealthy. It can even cause pain or discomfort. Miami cosmetic dentists Dr. Raul Garcia and Dr. Conchi Sanchez-Garcia can reveal the natural beauty of your teeth safely and comfortably with laser gum recontouring. A beautiful smile can only be complete with beautiful gums.
Gum recontouring can correct many problems with your gum line:
Gum recontouring used to be dangerous, imprecise, and rather barbaric. It involved cutting away of the gums with a scalpel. The cosmetic results were unpredictable, the risk of infection was very high, and the recovery was difficult and painful.
Today’s gum recontouring is performed with laser dentistry. The laser is very precise and gives you beautiful cosmetic results. Laser treatment has completely changed gum recontouring.
We use the Navigator laser from Ivoclar. It actually vaporizes the gum tissue, killing bacteria and sealing the wound as it goes. This means that the risk of infection is greatly reduced, and your recovery is much more comfortable.
The laser causes less trauma to your gum tissue, and you will not need stitches after the procedure. There is very little swelling, and you may not have any postoperative pain. Recovery is much faster, too.
