Gum Contouring

Sometimes, a simple gum or tissue contouring treatment is all it takes to achieve the perfect smile you crave. Gum/gingival contouring is efficient, and virtually pain-free thanks to the use of high tech soft-tissue laser dentistry at SoundBridge. This easy treatment is great for improving the length and symmetry of the gums, and is sometimes the first step to enhancing the outcome of many other cosmetic dental processes.

In cases where gum tissue is covering too much of the teeth or is uneven across your smile line, Dr. Bloomquist can comfortably reshape them to meet a natural balance that compliments your ideal tooth proportion and smile line. Soft-tissue laser gum contouring is gentle and minimally invasive, so there’s little recovery time. A fast-healing, pain-free experience that aids in perfectly framing your pearly whites, is what makes soft-tissue laser the best solution to a gum contouring experience. If you have a “gummy” smile, or are unhappy with the shape of your gumline soft-tissue laser dentistry by Gig Harbor’s Dr. Bloomquist may be the perfect solution.

“Dentistry is gentle and thorough thanks to today’s modern technologies.”

Lengthening the gums using soft-tissue laser dentistry may be the first stepping stone to other dental treatments. Crown lengthening is done when a tooth requires repair, but not enough of the tooth is readily available for retaining dental work. For example, when a tooth breaks off at the gum line, or when a crown or filling falls out and there is too much gum tissue or bone blocking clear access to hold the new restoration.

Soft-tissue laser dentistry, gum/gingival contouring and crown lengthening are all ways Gig Harbor dentist, Dr. Bloomquist proves her commitment to providing the highest standards in dental care.
