Gum Lifts and Rejuvenation in Tampa

The Overview

A gum lift, also known as gum contouring, is a dental procedure that removes excess gum tissue to improve the appearance of the smile. 

It makes teeth appear longer and enhances overall oral health.

Laser technology can be used to perform gum lifts, resulting in a less invasive procedure and a shorter recovery period.

When done properly and combined with good oral hygiene, gum lifts have a success rate of over 90%.

A skilled periodontist is needed for proper evaluation, surgical precision and technique, and the proper post-procedure care.

Gum Lifts and Rejuvenation resolve issues with:

  • A Gummy Smile
  • Uneven Gumline
  • Short-looking Teeth
  • Challenging Tooth Restorations
  • Gum Disease

How Invisalign Works

The Details

Treatment

A local anesthetic is first applied to the affected area.

Then, excess gum tissue is carefully removed using a periodontal laser tool.

This allows reshaping the gumline to create a nicer-looking smile.

Recovery

Most patients experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising after the procedure. It is important to avoid hard or spicy foods, as well as smoking, for several days after surgery. 

Good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing, are essential for proper healing. 

Advantages

  • A More Gentle and Precise Reshaping of the Gumline
  • Reduced Pain and Swelling
  • Less Bleeding
  • Faster Recovery Time
  • Lower Risk of Infection
