Customized Gum Contouring Techniques
Well-maintained teeth can brighten a room, but excessive gum tissue can sometimes get all the attention. If you feel that you have overly prominent gums that dominate your smile, Dr. Guray Uysal can help.
At ANTASYA Dental Clinic, we never take a one-size-fits-all approach to patient care. Many dental practices offer only one technique in their gum lift procedures, typically either with a laser or a scalpel. However, effective gum recontouring requires a variety of tools and techniques in order to meet the unique needs of each individual.
During your free initial consultation, Dr. Guray Uysal will fully examine your teeth and gums and offer recommendations for the treatment that will best suit your needs and physical characteristics. Based on the amount of gum tissue present, he may recommend gum treatment with a laser, scalpel or electro-surgery wand.
Regardless of the technique that is most appropriate for your situation, the goal is always the same: to safely and comfortably provide you with beautiful, natural-looking results that improve the appearance of your smile as well as your pride in sharing it.
Should I Get a Gum Lift?
If your gum tissue is excessive and presenting an unattractive aesthetic issue, then gum contouring may be an ideal option. However, if your gums exhibit signs of gum disease or gingivitis, Dr. Guray Uysal may recommend general dental services, such as periodontal treatment, to restore the health of your gums.
You may be a good candidate for a gum lift if you have:
- Excess gum tissue that conceals too much of your teeth
- Teeth that look small or misshapen because they are obscured by gum tissue
- Teeth and gums that are in good health
- Good oral hygiene habits
- Realistic expectations and a positive outlook
The best way to find out if gum recontouring is right for you is to schedule a free consultation with Dr. Guray Uysal. During this personal meeting, Dr. Uysal will take the time to get to know you and fully understand your goals. He will complete a thorough examination of your teeth and gums and offer the best recommendations for your situation.
