Gum Contouring - Fremont Area Dentistry

Gum contouring is an easy and fast solution if your dazzling smile is being hidden by overgrown gum tissue. Help reveal your smile's full and beautiful potential with gum contouring, part of Dr. Yu's dentistry around Fremont, CA. It only takes one visit.

In some patients, front teeth may not emerge evenly, which may result in a "gummy smile", where we see more gum than normal above the teeth. At his Fremont, CA area dentistry practice, Dr. Yu offer the latest technologies to reveal the full contour of your teeth in a quick and comfortable procedure.

Superior Tools and Treatments

Dr. Yu will gently and precisely reshape the gum line with a laser. He will create a line that is proportionate with the size and shape of your teeth. The result is a beautiful symmetrical smile, highlighting the teeth, so you can smile proudly.

Gum contouring occasionally involves minor oral surgery in some cases. Because the underlying bone can also be a factor in a smile that looks gummy, a more elaborate surgery may be required. If so, a consultation with Dr. Yu in his Fremont, CA area dentistry practice in Milpitas can help you determine which option will work best to achieve your smile.

Patient comfort is the first priority at Optimum Dental Care, so Dr. Yu uses a special numbing agent called Tricanglue. It's a gel with 3 kinds of anesthetic to create a more comfortable dental experience. When applied, it penetrates deeply into the gum tissue and will numb the intended work area for approximately 15 minutes or more. No other topical gel office works as well in creating a positive, comfortable visit to the dentist!

While the full beauty of your smile is being revealed, you can relax and lay back, and listen to music or watch a movie. Your new smile will be perfect before you know it!

It's amazing what a difference gum contouring can make, both to your smile and to your desire to show it off. Call us at Optimum Dental Care for a consultation with Dr. Yu; we are eager to help you reveal the new you.
