Gum Recontouring
Did you know that the appearance of your gums can have a profound impact on your smile? When your gums don't look right, they can create the illusion of dental problems that you do not even have. To bring out the natural beauty of your smile and correct a "gummy smile," we may suggest gum recontouring. Also called a gum lift, gum recontouring can help with a number of cosmetic issues, including teeth that look too short, teeth that appear uneven, and red, puffy gums.
Gum recontouring will reshape your gum line and create uniformity in your smile. In the past, recontouring involved cutting away at the gums with a scalpel. Dr. Ahnquist now performs gum recontouring using a soft tissue laser, which significantly reduces bleeding, swelling, pain, exposure to infection, and recovery time.
A fantastic smile begins with a visit to our dental office. Call us today and schedule your gum recontouring appointment with Dr. Ahnquist. We welcome patients from Lexington, Paris, Frankfort, and surrounding areas to our Georgetown, KY practice.
