The dentist in Essex at Perfect Smile Spa is certified cosmetic dentist. They are trained for such procedures from proper institutes. So, if a subject has gummy smile or their gum line have receded because of gum diseases as gingivitis, periodontitis, tooth decay, etc., they can balance asymmetrical gum lines by procedures such as gum lift and gum reshaping.

Procedure of Gum Lift

The procedure is also called crown-lengthening and is an effective gum disease treatment too. Typically gums are numbed with use of local anesthesia. Then this is followed by incision. This gives the dentist the scope to rearrange the tissues of the surrounding gum and also the underlying bones. Stitches are used to cover the incision. Recently laser is used for lifting gum.

One of the best advantages of using laser is that it is possible to seal off the blood vessels automatically. So, subjects require lesser time to heal and little or no blood is lost during the procedure. The procedure is also very painless causing mild discomfort for a day or two.

In both these procedures, it is very important to take special care of the gums, specifically during the healing stage. One should also follow the procedure of maintenance with regular brushing, cleaning and flossing followed with periodical check ups. Tobacco use should be significantly cut down as the chemicals interfere with the healing procedure.

Procedure of Gum Reshaping

Gum reshaping is similar to lifting gums. Those who have uneven gum levels or for those whose gum levels have receded because of any diseases or accidents can try this procedure. Sometimes small adjustments in the bones are necessary to bring the outcome that the subject wishes for. However, effective results are always reached no matter what.

Both the procedures are sometimes done alone and few times with a combination of other treatments of cosmetic dentistry and gum disease treatment. Initially the gums are little swollen but as the gums starts to heal the puffiness decreases and at the same time the redness.
