Gum Contouring

Too much gum tissue can distract from your teeth, impacting the visual balance of your smile. If your gum line makes you feel self-conscious, Dr. Ace Jovanski can perform gum contouring to reshape it. Learn why patients turn to our team in Round Rock, TX, for this transformative procedure.

A Look at the Procedure

While your dentist will explain your individual treatment in greater detail, here are the steps patients who visit our Round Rock practice can generally expect:
We use dental lasers during gum contouring surgery for less discomfort and quicker recovery.

Initial Consultation

Dr. Jovanovski learns about your smile goals and examines your gums and teeth to determine if gum contouring is right for you. If he finds you are in good oral health and the procedure will effectively help you, we’ll schedule you for treatment.

Local Anesthetic

To minimize your discomfort, he will administer a local anesthetic. We also offer sedation options to those with dental phobia or who have trouble sitting in the dental chair for extended periods.

Sculpting

After you’re comfortable, he’ll target unwanted gum tissue with our specialized dental laser that simultaneously eradicates excess tissue and seals your blood vessels.

Recovery

While yours may vary, the length of the procedure is typically one to two hours. Minor side effects should subside quickly and he will give you instructions on recovery to ensure best results and maintain your oral health.

Looking to Revamp Your Smile Completely?

Gum contouring can be performed as a standalone treatment. However, patients who have several aesthetic concerns about their teeth or smile at large can incorporate this procedure into a full-on smile makeover, a personalized combination of cosmetic dentistry solutions that addresses all areas taking a toll on your self-image. If your dental needs are more than just cosmetic, we can integrate restorative procedures as well, such as dental implant placement to replace a missing tooth.

For additional information on enhancing your smile with a customized plan that combines gum contouring with other treatments such as teeth whitening or veneers, contact us today.

I've been going to Dr Ace for about 3 years now. I am a transplant to the area so Dr Ace and team picked me up with somebody else having done the work. I wish I had lived in Austin years ago and known about Dr Ace. This place is great, and I've recommended them personally
