While this can be done for cosmetic reasons, it can also be used for oral health reasons to help prevent tooth decay or loss. Our Winchester cosmetic dentist, Dr. Gerald Brown, at Amherst Dental Practice can provide you with detailed and personalized gum reshaping to help you have a healthy and radiant smile.
Are you worried about the appearance of your gum line? Don’t hesitate to call our office at (540) 779-8661 to learn how we can help you.
There are many benefits of choosing gingival recontouring, including:
It is a simple procedure in which Dr. Brown will outline the exact level of the gum line that you desire. From there, a local anesthetic is applied and the gum line is carefully and delicately adjusted by the doctor. Following the procedure, a normal over the counter painkiller can help with any pain or discomfort you might be experiencing. It can be a good idea to eat softer and cooler foods for a while to aid in the healing process.
