      Gum Contouring

      Say goodbye to gummy smiles.

      A beautiful smile requires both healthy teeth and a balanced gum line. At Drs. Nicolas & Asp Centers, we offer gum contouring, a cosmetic dental procedure that can enhance the aesthetics of your smile by reshaping your gum tissue.

      Gum Contouring in Dubai

      What is Gum Contouring?

      Gum contouring, also known as gingivectomy or gum reshaping, is a minimally invasive procedure performed by our Specialist Periodontists (dental experts in gum treatments) to improve the appearance of your gums. It can address various concerns, including gummy smiles, uneven gumlines, and receding gums. With this procedure, your periodontist will gently sculpt and trim excess gum tissue to achieve a more beautiful and symmetrical smile.

      Benefits of Gum Contouring

      Enhanced Smile Aesthetics

      Gum contouring can create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile by addressing issues like uneven gums or a gummy smile.

      Potential for Better Oral Health

      Addressing exposed tooth roots through gum contouring can help prevent sensitivity and tooth decay.

      Improved Confidence

      A beautiful smile can boost your confidence and self-esteem.

      The Gum Contouring Procedure

      Gum contouring is typically performed using a laser or a scalpel. The specific technique used will depend on your individual needs. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Depending on the extent of treatment, gum contouring can be completed in a single visit.

      Recovery After Gum Contouring

      Following gum contouring, you can expect some minor discomfort and swelling. Your periodontist will provide you with specific instructions for caring for your gums during the healing process. Most patients experience minimal downtime and can resume their normal activities within a few days.

      Gum Contouring FAQs

      Why is gum contouring performed?

      Gum contouring is often performed for aesthetic reasons, such as creating a more balanced and attractive smile. It can also be used to address functional issues like exposed tooth roots due to advanced gum disease.

      Is gum contouring painful?

      Gum contouring is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel any pain during the procedure. There may be some discomfort or swelling afterward, but this is generally mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

      How long does gum contouring take?

      The duration of gum contouring varies depending on the extent of the procedure. However, it is typically completed in a single visit and can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

      What is a gummy smile?

      A gummy smile, also known as excessive gingival display, is a condition where an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible above the top teeth when you smile. This can make your smile appear less balanced and aesthetically pleasing.

      What causes a gummy smile?

      Gummy smiles are often a cosmetic issue rather than a functional one. They can be caused by various factors, such as your facial muscles and structure, gum tissue, and the size and shape of your teeth. It can also be caused by certain conditions such as gingival hyperplasia and orthodontic disharmony.

      What are Specialist Periodontists?

      Specialist periodontists are board-certified dental professionals who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of gum disease. They have undergone at least three years of postgraduate training and education in periodontal care, making them experts in surgical and cosmetic gum treatments.
