What Patients Can Expect From Gum Contouring With Us

Traditional treatment for gum contouring would involve a dentist using a metal instrument to cut away extra gum tissue. Our dentist, however, leverages some of the most sophisticated technology modern dentistry has to offer to make this cosmetic procedure more comfortable and convenient.

It's all thanks to laser dentistry. Patients turn to our dental office in Round Rock, TX, to reap the many benefits of this incredible solution:

A Look at the Procedure

While your dentist will explain your individual treatment in greater detail, here are the steps patients who visit our Round Rock practice can generally expect:

We use dental lasers during gum contouring surgery for less discomfort and quicker recovery.

Initial Consultation

Dr. Jovanovski learns about your smile goals and examines your gums and teeth to determine if gum contouring is right for you. If he finds you are in good oral health and the procedure will effectively help you, we’ll schedule you for treatment.

Local Anesthetic

To minimize your discomfort, he will administer a local anesthetic. We also offer sedation options to those with dental phobia or who have trouble sitting in the dental chair for extended periods.

Sculpting

After you’re comfortable, he’ll target unwanted gum tissue with our specialized dental laser that simultaneously eradicates excess tissue and seals your blood vessels.

Recovery

While yours may vary, the length of the procedure is typically one to two hours. Minor side effects should subside quickly and he will give you instructions on recovery to ensure best results and maintain your oral health.

Looking to Revamp Your Smile Completely?

Gum contouring can be performed as a standalone treatment. However, patients who have several aesthetic concerns about their teeth or smile at large can incorporate this procedure into a full-on smile makeover, a personalized combination of cosmetic dentistry solutions that addresses all areas taking a toll on your self-image. If your dental needs are more than just cosmetic, we can integrate restorative procedures as well, such as dental implant placement to replace a missing tooth.
