Hello!
This is Lucid Dental Clinic.
Today, we would like to tell you about a way to create a beautiful smile:
'tooth gum contouring.'
Gum contouring is one of the advances in modern dentistry.
It is a procedure that creates a more harmonious and attractive
smile by adjusting the gum line when too much gum shows while smiling
or when the gum line is asymmetrical.
A beautiful smile is not completed by white teeth alone;
the harmony between the teeth and gums is very important,
according to Seonjeongneung Station Dental Clinic.

There are various types of gum contouring.
-
Gum resection
A procedure that trims gums to the normal height
when the teeth appear asymmetrical or short
-
Gum whitening
A procedure that restores darkly discolored gums
to healthy pink gums
-
Gum grafting
A procedure in which bone is harvested from an adjacent area
and grafted to cover excessively exposed tooth roots

So in the following cases,
you may want to consider gum contouring at Seonjeongneung Station Dental Clinic.
✔ When too much gum shows
✔ When the gum line is asymmetrical or uneven
