Gun Contouring

At Exquisite Smiles in South Attleboro, we believe a truly stunning smile involves more than just your teeth. The appearance of your gums plays a crucial role in framing your teeth and enhancing your overall smile aesthetics. We’re proud to offer state-of-the-art gum contouring in South Attleboro, led by our expert dentists, Dr. Tyler Phelan and Dr. James Phelan.

What is Gum Contouring?

Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or tissue sculpting, is a cosmetic dental procedure that reshapes the gum line to improve the appearance of your smile. This procedure can address issues such as a “gummy” smile, where too much gum tissue is visible, or uneven gum lines that create an asymmetrical appearance.

The Gum Contouring Process

Initial Consultation

A more balanced smile begins with a comprehensive consultation with either Dr. Tyler Phelan or Dr. James Phelan. During this visit, we’ll:

Evaluate your gum line and overall oral health.
Discuss your aesthetic concerns and goals.
Explain the gum contouring procedure in detail.
Answer any questions you may have
Create a customized treatment plan.

The Procedure

Exquisite Smiles uses advanced laser technology for most gum contouring procedures. Here’s what you can expect:

Preparation: We’ll ensure you’re comfortable and apply a local anesthetic to numb the area.
Gum Reshaping: Using the laser, Dr. Tyler Phelan or Dr. James Phelan will carefully sculpt your gum line, removing excess tissue where necessary and reshaping the gums to create a more balanced appearance.
Evaluation: Throughout the procedure, we’ll assess the progress to ensure we’re achieving the desired results.
Final Touch-ups: We’ll make any necessary adjustments to perfect your new gum line.

The entire procedure typically takes about one to two hours, depending on the extent of reshaping required.

Recovery and Aftercare

One of the benefits of laser gum contouring is the reduced recovery time compared to traditional methods. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to their normal activities within a day or two. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, which may include:

Eating soft foods for a few days
Avoiding hot or spicy foods
Gentle brushing and flossing around the treated area
Using an antimicrobial mouthwash to prevent infection
