A
smile can look aged when worn-down front teeth have lost their youthful
shape. Natural teeth can be slightly reshaped to create a softer,
straighter and younger look.
Gum
contouring is a valuable tool that an experienced cosmetic dentist uses
to help create a gorgeous and beautiful smile. The lips and gums act
as a frame for a patient's smile. Healthy gums are a very important
part of a pleasant appearance. It's not just the teeth that look
beautiful, it's the combination of everything that is seen. When there
is too much gum it gives the patient an unattractive smile even if the
teeth are wonderfully aligned and proportioned well. Laser
gingivoplasty is the surgical reshaping of the outer surface of the gums
and when used during cosmetic gum contouring, a beautiful smile is
usually achievable.
