There are a wide variety of reasons why a patient might be in need of gum contouring.
For some, it is having a ‘gummy smile’ that leads to cosmetic gum surgery, while others may need it in conjunction with another treatment such as veneers, crowns, or composite bonding.
Gum recession is another reason gum surgery may be required. In such cases, the teeth can appear longer than usual as there is less gum visible. In time, this can not only affect the patient’s self-confidence in their smile, but it can also lead to issues such as increased root sensitivity and even the loss of a tooth.
Kit knows that gum health and care is paramount to the overall health of the mouth and has undertaken advanced training in order to perform gum surgery. While each individual patient’s case is different, the care, attention, and expertise that Kit brings to the treatment is the same.
