Soft Tissue Contouring in Clute, TX

Is a gummy smile, receding gums, or an uneven dental arch making you feel embarrassed? Many patients have naturally receding gum lines or excess gum tissue that disfigures their smiles. If this is the case, please contact our experienced dentist near you for information about soft tissue contouring treatments.

Soft Tissue Contouring at UR Smile Dental of Clute

Soft tissues in the oral cavity refer to your gums that cover the bone and support the teeth. An extended gum line can force your teeth to appear short, stubby, and disproportionate. Our experienced dentist in Clute, TX uses the latest laser technology to reshape your gums. Soft tissue contouring can not only rectify receding and uneven gum lines but also correct asymmetrical smiles.

An asymmetric gum line can appear receding and extended and make your teeth appear short or long, resulting in an uneven smile. Gum reshaping can help your teeth appear even and create a balanced smile. Laser gum contouring requires no sutures and results in minimal bleeding.

Modern Soft Tissue Contouring Treatments

In the past, dentists used only scalpels and sutures to reshape your gum line, and healing took some time. Nowadays, however, thanks to advanced laser dentistry, there is much less bleeding and greater precision involved during the process. When you visit UR Smile Dental of Clute for a consultation, we will first scan your oral cavity and evaluate the position, length, and size of your teeth before starting the procedure.

Laser technology for soft tissue contouring in Clute, TX provides quick, accurate, and aesthetic results. We apply a topical anesthetic, alter the gum line and give you a symmetric smile in just a single appointment.

Does Soft Tissue Contouring Hurt?

We offer a full spectrum of sedation options, and there is a reduced likelihood of feeling any pain. Our experienced dentist at UR Smile Dental of Clute will determine how much gum tissue to cut away, trim, or graft. Once the gum reshaping procedure is complete, you should refrain from eating anything hard or sharp that can poke or irritate your gums. It’s natural to experience some post-procedural soreness which will disappear in a couple of days.
