Enjoy a New Lease on Life With Gum Surgery

Many people have what’s known as a gummy smile. This is when your gums are covering and excessive amount of your teeth. As a result, your gums become too prominent and distract from your teeth. Or, you may have an uneven gumline, leading some teeth to appear too short or stubby.

In either situation, Dr. Ekpenyong can help. He’ll perform this procedure with the Gemini dual-wavelength laser. This technology will:

  • Feel More Comfortable – The laser gently will remove a small amount of gum tissue. Because your dentist uses this technology, you won’t feel any discomfort whatsoever.
  • Minimally Invasive – Your dentist will combine this advanced technology with his skilled touch. He will target only the desired amount of gum for removal.
  • Faster Healing – As the laser does its work, it will reseal your gumline so that no stitches are required. Your downtime will be minimal. You’ll enjoy a completely comfortable recovery.

As a result of the procedure, you will have a more beautiful gumline. You can proudly show off your smile to family, friends, and acquaintances. Although our gum surgery is completely comfortable, you can take advantage of amenities like pillows, blankets, music, and Netflix to help you relax.

Common Questions About Cosmetic Gum Surgery
What is cosmetic gum surgery?

Cosmetic gum surgery, or gum contouring, reshapes the gumline to enhance smile aesthetics. It often involves removing excess gum tissue to reveal more tooth surface, addressing “gummy” smiles or uneven gum lines. Your dentist uses modern techniques like laser technology to ensure precise results and potentially reduce your recovery time compared to traditional methods.

Is cosmetic gum surgery uncomfortable?

While the surgery itself is not painful due to anesthesia, some post-operative discomfort is common. The level of pain varies among patients, but it’s generally described as mild to moderate and comparable to other dental procedures. Recovery is usually quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days.

How much does cosmetic gum surgery cost?

The cost of cosmetic gum surgery varies widely based on numerous factors. Your dentist will discuss what you can expect to pay for the procedure during your consultation. Since this is a cosmetic procedure, insurance typically doesn’t cover the costs. However, we do have third-party financing options available.
