Cosmetic gum surgery, also known as gum contouring, is a dental procedure designed to reshape the gum line for aesthetic purposes. It typically involves removing excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth crown, addressing issues like a gummy smile or uneven gum lines. This procedure can also be used to add gum tissue in cases where recession has occurred, helping to create a more balanced and attractive smile.
Cosmetic gum surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia, which minimizes pain during the procedure. Plus, we use a gentle laser for gum contouring and crown lengthening procedures. Sedation is also available, if needed. You may experience some discomfort and swelling in the days following surgery, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Most patients report that any pain is mild and subsides within a week.
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.
