Your smile reflects your unique personality. If you don’t feel completely confident about how your gums look, cosmetic gum surgery can help. At The Perico Group, we specialize in enhancing smiles by addressing common concerns like excessive gum tissue or uneven gum lines.
What Is Cosmetic Gum Surgery?
Cosmetic gum surgery is a procedure designed to reshape your gum line. It’s a great solution for anyone who feels their gums create an unbalanced look. By addressing issues such as a gummy smile or receding gums, we can enhance your smile and improve your overall oral health.
Common Cosmetic Gum Concerns We Address:
- Gummy Smile: Excess gum tissue that makes teeth appear smaller than they are
- Uneven Gum Line: Asymmetrical gums that make your smile look uneven
- Receding Gums: Gum loss that exposes tooth roots and can lead to increased sensitivity
If these concerns sound familiar, we’re here to help. A consultation can determine the best treatment for you.
Benefits of Cosmetic Gum Surgery
Cosmetic gum surgery isn’t just about aesthetics—it also helps improve your oral health and can boost confidence. Here’s how it can help:
- Enhanced Smile Appearance: Achieve a balanced look between your teeth and gums
- Improved Oral Health: Treating gum irregularities can make brushing and flossing more effective
- Increased Confidence: When your smile looks great, you’ll feel great, too
Types of Cosmetic Gum Surgery
At The Perico Group, we offer a range of treatments to meet your unique needs:
Gum Contouring
If excessive gum tissue hides your teeth, gum contouring carefully reshapes your gum line to reveal more of your teeth. The result? A brighter, more balanced smile.
Gum Grafting
For patients with receding gums, gum grafting restores the gum line by adding tissue to areas where it has receded. This not only enhances your smile, but also protects your teeth from sensitivity and further gum loss.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening adjusts the gum and bone levels around your teeth to expose more tooth structure. It’s often used to prepare for restorative procedures or simply to improve the appearance of your smile.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Cosmetic gum surgery is a straightforward process, and we make it as comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation and Planning: During your initial visit, we’ll discuss your goals, evaluate your gum health, and create a personalized treatment plan
- Procedure Preparation: On the day of your surgery, local anesthesia is used to make sure you’re comfortable. Sedation options are also available if needed
- Precision Surgery: Using advanced technology, we adjust the gum tissue to achieve your desired results
- Post-Procedure Care: We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. We’ll also schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing
Most patients experience minimal discomfort and return to their daily routine quickly.
Recovery and Aftercare
Proper care after cosmetic gum surgery is important for the best results. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
- Stick to Soft Foods: Avoid hard or crunchy foods for a few days to protect the treated area
- Follow Oral Hygiene Guidelines: Brush and floss gently around the surgical site
- Attend Follow-Up Appointments: Scheduled check-ins help us ensure your gums are healing as expected
Healing times vary depending on the procedure, but you can expect a healthier, more beautiful smile in just a few weeks.
