If you want to enjoy a healthier and brighter smile, a
reshaping of the gum contour can be the ideal treatment for you. This treatment can also be a great
choice if you want to correct an uneven gingival line.
The Gingival Contour Procedure
Laser gum is a relatively fast and painless procedure. Before starting treatment, your dentist will
customize your aesthetic plan. It will evaluate your aesthetic goals, your oral health and determine
the optimal position of your new gingival line.
The harmony of the smile cannot be conceived without a gingival case, perfectly healthy with a volume
and balanced shapes. The practitioner must first know how to analyze the criteria of dento-gingival
aesthetics to detect the main alterations of the smile of his patient, then propose compensatory
surgical or prosthetic solutions. A defect of the gingival tissues cannot be compensated by the
quality of a dental prosthesis as well performed as it is.
Assessment and Issues
The line of the collars corresponds to the exposure of the gingival contour and is determined by the
level of the marginal gum of the maxillary teeth; it must follow the shape of the upper lip.
Gingival architectural harmony is very important in the perception of the smile. It includes both :
- The shape of the collar specific to each tooth.
- The line of the collars that brings together the top of the gingival collars of each tooth.
