Enhance Your Gumline With Advanced Techniques

At Westlake Family Dentistry, we use state-of-the-art laser technology to perform precise and comfortable gum reshaping procedures. Whether you're looking to correct a "gummy" smile or achieve a more balanced gumline, our gentle techniques deliver natural-looking results with minimal discomfort and faster healing.

For patients needing crown lengthening, we carefully contour the gum tissue to reveal more of your tooth's surface. This creates a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing smile and also makes it easier to get dental veneers or crowns.

Using laser technology, your dentist performs these procedures with accuracy and efficiency, reducing recovery time and enhancing your overall experience.

I’m such a baby about any dental work, but my phobia is gone thanks to Dr Sievert and his caring staff. Even complicated procedures are painless. His hygienists are thorough but gentle. And Tracy and Susan run the office really well and make it a pleasure to walk in. Oh, and my teeth look great!

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Gum Surgery

What is cosmetic gum surgery?

Cosmetic gum surgery is a procedure that enhances the appearance of your gum line to create a more balanced and attractive smile. It includes treatments like gum reshaping for a "gummy" smile, gum recession correction, and crown lengthening to expose more of your teeth. These procedures are designed to improve the symmetry and harmony of your smile while also supporting your oral health.

Is cosmetic gum surgery painful?

We prioritize your comfort throughout the procedure. At Westlake Family Dentistry, we use advanced laser technology that minimizes discomfort and speeds up the healing process. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and we also offer sedation options, including laughing gas and oral conscious sedation, to help you feel relaxed. Any post-treatment discomfort is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

How long does it take to recover from cosmetic gum surgery?

Recovery times vary depending on the type of procedure and your body's healing process. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, but it may take a couple of weeks for the gums to fully heal. During your consultation, we'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and ensure the best results.
