If you have any questions about gum contouring, we’ve got answers.
Gum recontouring is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to change the shape and contour of your gums. While it is generally a comfortable experience, some mild to moderate post-operative discomfort is normal. Our San Diego dentist will use a local anesthetic to numb the areas before the tissues are adjusted, preventing you from feeling any irritation during your appointment.
If the procedure is completed with a laser, there will be less discomfort and swelling overall, improving your comfort throughout the entire process.
It’s important to note that everyone experiences pain differently, so the amount of discomfort you may experience will vary depending on the extent of the treatment and your individual pain tolerance. However, most people find gum recontouring to be a relatively straightforward procedure. In most cases, any discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
If you’re considering undergoing gum recontouring, talk to our San Diego dentist about the level of discomfort you can expect during and after the procedure. That way we will be able to provide you with more information on how to manage any post-operative pain you may experience.
Maintaining the results of your gum contouring is simple. Here are a few tips to keep your new gum line healthy and attractive:
- Daily Oral Hygiene: Brush twice a day and floss daily to prevent plaque buildup and maintain healthy gums.
- Regular Check-Ups: Schedule regular dental check-ups with our highly trained dentist and dental hygienist to monitor your oral health and ensure your gums remain in great shape.
- Healthy Diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support your oral health.
