GINGIVAL RECONTOURING
At G Orthodontics, we believe in the transformative power of a beautiful smile, and that includes ensuring the health and aesthetics of your gums. Gingival recontouring, also known as gingivoplasty, is a cosmetic dental procedure we offer to enhance both the appearance of your smile and your oral health.
Gingivoplasty: Reshaping Your Gums for a Beautiful Smile:
Gingivoplasty involves the surgical reshaping of gum tissue around the teeth. While it is often done for cosmetic reasons, improving the visual appeal of your smile, it also contributes to maintaining optimal oral health. At G Orthodontics, we utilize a diode laser, a state-of-the-art technology, to safely and effectively perform gingival recontouring.

Gingivoplasty involves the surgical reshaping of gum tissue around the teeth. While it is often done for cosmetic reasons, improving the visual appeal of your smile, it also contributes to maintaining optimal oral health. At G Orthodontics, we utilize a diode laser, a state-of-the-art technology, to safely and effectively perform gingival recontouring.
Common Reasons for Gingival Recontouring:
- Gum Tissue Irregularities: Some individuals may have gum tissue that is uneven, has an unusual shape, or is not formed normally. Gingival recontouring addresses these irregularities, promoting a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing gum line.
- Excessive Gum Tissue: In some cases, excess gum tissue can make teeth appear shorter than they actually are. Gingivoplasty using a diode laser allows us to precisely remove this excess tissue, exposing more of the tooth’s surface for improved esthetic results.
The Role of Diode Laser in Gingival Recontouring:
The use of a diode laser in gingival recontouring offers several benefits:
- Precision: The diode laser allows for precise and controlled removal of excess gum tissue, ensuring accurate reshaping and improved symmetry.
- Minimally Invasive: Gingivoplasty with a diode laser is a minimally invasive procedure, reducing discomfort and promoting faster healing compared to traditional surgical methods.
- Reduced Bleeding and Swelling: The diode laser cauterizes as it cuts, minimizing bleeding and swelling during and after the procedure.
Esthetic Results and Oral Health Benefits:
Gingival recontouring not only enhances the visual appeal of your smile but also offers oral health benefits:
- Improved Oral Hygiene: Reshaping the gum line facilitates easier and more effective oral hygiene practices, reducing the risk of gum disease.
- Optimal Tooth Exposure: By removing excess gum tissue, more of the tooth’s surface is exposed, contributing to a balanced and attractive smile.
Your Journey to a Healthier, More Beautiful Smile:
At G Orthodontics, we prioritize not only the alignment of your teeth but also the overall aesthetics and health of your smile. Gingival recontouring, performed with precision and care using a laser, is one of the ways we enhance both the form and function of your smile, ensuring you leave our offices with confidence in your radiant and healthy new smile.
