hat can gum treatment do for me?
Gum treatment begins with removing bacteria from beneath your gums to prevent or resolve gum disease. Then Dr. Tekin can recontour your gums to balance and enhance the beauty of your smile.

What is gum recontouring?
Gum recontouring removes excess gum tissue and restores the symmetry of your gum line. Recontouring can correct red or chronically swollen gums, whether it is caused by gum disease, trauma, or genetics. Removing excess tissue and creating an even gum line can correct teeth that appear too short or crooked. Your entire smile will look healthier and more beautiful!

Is gum treatment painful?
Gum treatment is surgery. Dr. Tekin will use a local anesthetic to numb the area. Fearful patients and those who are resistant to numbing can benefit from sedation dentistry. After your procedure you may experience some swelling and discomfort. Dr. Tekin can prescribe pain medication that will keep you comfortable during your brief recovery period.

Is gum treatment expensive?
If you are developing or have developed gum disease, gum treatment is absolutely necessary to preserve your teeth and jaw bone. The investment you make in gum treatment today will be tiny compared to the expense of treating advanced gum disease and the damage it can cause. We also offer flexible financing so you don't have to wait for healthy gums.
