Welcome to Metro Decatur Dental Group, where we believe that a confident smile is not just a matter of aesthetics but a symbol of a thriving community. Dr. Gary Simms, the proud owner of our dental practice, is excited to offer the residents of Decatur, GA, a transformative dental procedure known as cosmetic gum surgery. Also referred to as gum reshaping or gingivoplasty, this procedure not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also ensures improved protection for your precious teeth.
Cosmetic and Medical Aspects of Gum Reshaping
Our expert team at Metro Decatur Dental Group recognizes the significance of a symmetrical smile, where the edges of your teeth harmoniously meet the gums. Whether it’s restoring receded gums or achieving a more balanced smile, gum reshaping is a versatile solution that caters to both cosmetic and medical needs.
For those with periodontal disease, gum recession can pose a threat to the gums and the supporting structures of the teeth. Gum reshaping becomes a vital medical necessity in such cases, safeguarding your teeth from potential loosening and preserving the integrity of your oral health. As we attend to your medical needs, we also take great care in ensuring that your smile gains newfound symmetry and radiance, boosting your self-assurance.
Cosmetic Gum Contouring for a Winning Smile
At Metro Decatur Dental Group, we understand that a beautiful smile can have a profound impact on your life. Through cosmetic gum contouring, our skilled dentists can create a harmonious balance between the proportions of your teeth and gums. Achieving even upper and lower symmetry results in a winning smile that resonates with confidence.
The Gum Contouring Process Unveiled
When you step into our office in Decatur, GA, for your gum reshaping procedure, you can rest assured that you are in the hands of experienced professionals. The gum contouring process involves a minor surgery completed in a single visit, ensuring minimal discomfort and downtime for our valued patients.
For those seeking gum reduction, excess gum tissue that causes asymmetry is delicately removed using advanced soft-tissue lasers or precision scalpels. This process is permanent, resulting in a proportional and even gum line that complements your teeth perfectly.
On the other hand, if gum supplementation is required to address gum recession, we carefully source additional tissue from the palate or other areas of your mouth. Our meticulous approach ensures a seamless integration of the new tissue and promotes a smooth healing process.
Recovering with Confidence and Care
Our team at Metro Decatur Dental Group understands that a swift and comfortable recovery is essential for our patients. While some tenderness and discomfort may be experienced after the procedure, it is generally mild to moderate and short-lived. Following our post-recovery guidelines, including gentle oral hygiene practices and cautious food choices, ensures a smoother healing process.
