GUM CONTOURING

GUM CONTOURING FROM YOUR PORT COQUITLAM COSMETIC DENTIST

Gum contouring or gingival sculpting, also known as gingival contouring, is typically a cosmetic procedure that patients undertake in order to correct the appearance of their gumline. At our Port Coquitlam dental office, It is most common in patients who have a “gummy” smile, an asymmetrical smile, or in those who have a receding gum line due to periodontal disease.

This is a minor procedure that takes place in-office and lasts approximately one hour. Prior to the procedure, you will have a consultation with your Port Coquitlam dentist that outlines where the sculpting will take place along the gumline.

This procedure is completed with dental laser technology that makes the risk of complication very low, as well as your recovery time. A local anesthetic will be applied to your gumline and teeth before the gum line is lasered. Recovery typically takes a couple of days; you might experience slight swelling and tenderness which can be managed with an over-the-counter pain reliever.

For more information about the gum contouring treatments offered or to arrange your appointment at our Port Coquitlam dental practice, please call (604) 942-1006 or contact us online!

From the start Dr. Chahal and the team took into consideration my high anxiety about coming to the dentist due to childhood traumas of past dentists treating me as just another "patient" But the entire team from Reception, Hygienist, Dental assistant and Dentist made me feel empowered to keep my Dental hygiene strong and wanting to up keep with my appointments. They see you as a person and make you feel welcome and comfortable always checking in on you while the appointment moves along. I couldn't recommend a better Dental practice and truly feel all his employees are passionate about every patient giving them the best service you could expect from what once scared me to go for cleanings. I now look forward because they have erased all fear from what others have done, they make me want to do my best with my dental hygiene and give me knowledge about the importance of what they do allowing me to be part of my dental health. Before I allowed fear to detour me from coming to the dentist, but now I am a strong believer in putting my dental hygiene in top priority as it plays a huge factor in our physical and mental health. If you have pain in your mouth it stops you from enjoying the food that nourishes our body which can lead to even more problems. So if you have had poor dental experiences in the past, fear to come in because you've put it off for so long or just want to experience what a dentist is suppose to truly be I recommend Oxford Family Dental for all ages and will continue recommending them to all my friends and family.
