GUM LINE CORRECTION

Gum Line Correction is a procedure done by a dental specialist that reshapes or resculpts your gumline. The process of gum contouring involves cutting away or removing excess gum tissue around your teeth. If you have gum recession, the procedure consists of restoring gum tissue.

Papillae are the gum that fills the spaces between the teeth. Sometimes the loss of these papillae leads to an unsightly dark triangle. The replacement of these papillae is complicated and not possible in a lot of cases.

However, at Dorking Smiles, there are other techniques at our disposal that can reduce or eliminate this problem, such as a Gum Lift. 

There are several procedures that we can carry out to get the gums into line; the most popular would be a Gum Lift. 

If there is excess gum, they can be trimmed back or can be brought down with soft tissue grafting.

To make teeth appear to be longer and more proportionate. Gum contours can be used and adjusted according to the “golden proportion” of cosmetics, ensuring the gum line is even, and all teeth are in proportion to each other.
