Are you concerned about your gumline? Is it affecting your oral health? Then come to Pasha Dental Group for the best gumline sculpting procedure in Mar Vista. Poor oral health due to gumline issues can result in the formation of deep gum pockets due to improper tooth brushing and the accumulation of calculus and plaque. Common aesthetic problems that can be corrected by gumline sculpting include gummy smile (excessive gingival display), uneven (asymmetrical) gingival contours, the loss of papillae (small amounts of gum tissue between your teeth) and exposed root surfaces.
What Is Gumline Sculpting?
Gumline sculpting is a minor, in-office procedure that typically requires only one visit. After a local anesthetic is applied to the gums, a soft tissue laser is used to trim away, re-contour and seal the excess gum tissue. There is only minor discomfort and no bleeding or stitches are involved.
More commonly, the procedure to reduce tissue and bone requires more time and stitches, yet it creates no pain.
