Gum Contouring

BACK BACK

Another minimally invasive way that cosmetic dentist, Dr. Eshom practices is through gum contouring.  Gum contouring allows the patient to have longer, younger looking teeth and can correct the appearance of crooked teeth do to an uneven gum line.  An easy and painless procedure, consulting an experienced cosmetic dentist will help you decide if laser gum contouring will achieve the results you want.  Patients with thin enamel (your protective coat on your teeth) can usually expect sensitivity during the gum contouring procedure.  This patient came to Dr. Eshom’s cosmetic office in San Diego to straighten her teeth and extend her natural tooth for a more sophisticated look.  The first step to gum contouring is an x-ray, which allows cosmetic dentist Dr. Eshom to see if your tooth structure is intact.  If the pulp (the tissue in your tooth) is not intact, teeth sensitivity may occur.  After x-raying, cosmetic dentist Dr. Eshom marks the gums to guide him while he contours the gums.  In the case of this patient, gum contouring transformed her juvenile look into classy charm.
