Some people’s gums around their teeth can often appear uneven and excessive.
At Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre in Plymouth, we offer gum contouring procedures to help smooth an uneven gum line.
If you’re unhappy with your smile because your gums sit too low or too high on your teeth, you may be a candidate for gum reshaping surgery.
Contact us today about setting up a no-obligation Gum Contouring consultation.
Health Benefits of Gum Contouring
Gum recession can make teeth appear longer than they are and lead to serious dental problems like decay and tooth loss. It may also be a sign of periodontal disease, which is the deterioration of gums and bone around teeth.
Laser gum contouring (gingivectomy) is a minimally invasive way to reduce the amount of gum covering teeth.
Is Gum Contouring painful?
Not at all. Laser gum contouring is a painless experience. The area where the laser gum contouring is carried out will be made numb before beginning the treatment, so you won’t feel any pain.
Post-treatment recovery is quick in the vast majority of cases. There will be no bleeding, and your gum will heal within a few days.
How much does Gum Contouring in Plymouth cost?
Laser Gum Reshaping at Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre starts from £588.
All new patients will be asked to book a 1-hour comprehensive examination appointment, which costs £150.
This exam will include your teeth and gum health and structural integrity, bite functioning, cosmetic aspects, and any X-rays needed.
After we have carefully listened to what you want and under the professional guidance of the dentist, we will be able to create a customised treatment plan for you and discuss the treatments available with estimated costs.
A deposit of £60 is required when booking, with the remaining £90 due on the day of your appointment.
Please note that this fee is fully refundable if you notify us of your cancellation at least 72 hours in advance. Your deposit will not be refunded for cancellations made with shorter notice or failed appointments.
