ABOUT GUM CONTOURING IN TURKEY

.
DURING GUM CONTOURING PROCEDURE, THE DENTIST IN TURKEY USES A SOFT TISSUE LASER OR A SCALPEL TO CAREFULLY REMOVE EXCESS GUM TISSUE AND RESHAPE THE GUM LINE. THE PROCEDURE IS TYPICALLY DONE UNDER LOCAL ANESTHESIA TO MINIMIZE ANY DISCOMFORT. OVERALL, GUM CONTOURING CAN BE A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE COSMETIC DENTAL PROCEDURE THAT CAN IMPROVE APPEARANCE OF THE SMILE AND BOOST A PERSON’S SELF-CONFIDENCE. IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH YOUR GUM LINE, YOU MAY CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED COSMETIC DENTIST TO SEE IF THIS TREATMENT IS RIGHT FOR YOU.

For gum contouring by dentist in Turkey is performed using radiosurgery, laser and scalpels. The dentist will use a special pen and mark a line of the new gum line so the patient is able to see how much gum will be removed and how the new gum line will be reshaped. A local anesthetic will be applied to numb the area and in some situations the bone at the front of the tooth’s root must be removed do get the best long-term results. Then the excess tissue will be precisely removed.

.
GUM CONTOURING PROCEDURE

Tools such as diode laser are used to perform the treatment at a faster, simpler and painless way. The treatment will start with the mouth being numbed using local anesthetic. Then the dentist will use a diode laser to gently cut away excess gum tissue and sculpt a more uniform scalloped gum line. Diode lasers cauterize while they cut so there is less bleeding and there is reduced chance of infections for patients.
