ENAMEL RE-CONTOURING
REFINES YOUR SMILE



If the horizon of your smile is jagged due to chips, slight crowding or cuspids that appear too long, enamel re-contouring may be your best option. Enamel shaping modifies your teeth by gently contouring and smoothing the enamel to balance the elements of your smile. Your dentist will carefully reshape your enamel and smooth any rough edges to give you a natural, more attractive smile.


Because re-contouring involves the enamel, local anesthetics aren't usually necessary for this procedure and the improvements are immediate and permanent! The result is a natural looking, more youthful smile.


GUM RESHAPING


Too much gum detracts from your beautiful teeth. Have you always admired people with a beautiful smile? Do your teeth appear to be shorter than average? Is your gum line uneven? Have your gums receded leaving large spaces between the teeth, exposing root surfaces? If any of these gum related concerns prevent you from having a perfect smile, your dentist may have

a solution for you!


If your teeth appear to be too short and you've always wanted a "toothy smile," gum lifting or reshaping may be the perfect solution.


This procedure can generally be completed in one visit. The dentist will remove a small amount of your gum tissue and contour it to expose more of your teeth. Your dentist may choose to use surgical instruments or a laser to complete the procedure. The results are instant and dramatic - showing more of the teeth and a fuller smile. If you're tired of seeing more of your gums than teeth when you smile, ask your dentist if gum lifting would improve your smile.


COSMETIC GUMS


If you have areas that show too much of the root surface or large spaces at the gum line, your dentist may recommend cosmetic gums.
