Gum recontouring, also called “gum lifting”, is a cosmetic dental procedure that focuses on reshaping an individual’s gum line.
Whether it is removing excessive tissue or lengthening the crown of a tooth for a necessary restorative procedure, our dentists in Fairfax, VA use a soft tissue laser to make the process quick and easy. You won’t have to worry about a traditional scalpel and suture method. With the soft tissue laser, we can quickly move along the gum line, cauterizing the tissue to minimize bleeding. You won’t feel any pain throughout the procedure and will undergo a much shorter recovery time.
Common Reasons for Gum Recontouring in Fairfax, VA:
- Balancing your gum line
- Gums covering teeth
- Teeth appear small
- Improve oral health by reducing your chances of developing gum disease
- Safer, more effective way to remove excess tissue and reshape the gum line
Soft tissue gum recontouring laser treatments come with numerous advantages. For one, the precision of the procedure is greatly improved. The laser cauterizes as it cuts to significantly decrease the risk of bleeding, creating a more comfortable process for you. In addition, this creates for a much faster recovery period. The laser also sterilizes as it works to destroy bacteria and prevent infection while your gums are sensitive for the next few of days. There also is minimal pain or discomfort when you have a gum recontouring procedure in our Fairfax, VA office.
How We Can Alleviate Your TMJ Pain:
Mouth Guards
Mouth guards are an essential protective appliance for those with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ/TMD). These specially designed guards not only protect teeth from impact injuries but also provide crucial cushioning to reduce trauma to the mouth, teeth, and jaw - areas particularly sensitive in TMJ/TMD patients.
Night Guards
For patients who experience bruxism, or teeth grinding, our team at Lowes Island Dentistry in Sterling, VA encourages you to be fitted for a night guard. Night guards, or bite guards, help to protect your teeth from crushing and grinding of teeth by providing a protective layer between your teeth.
Botox for TMJ
Botox injections can provide relief for those suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder by relaxing the overactive muscles around the jaw joint. When the muscles are too tense, it can cause pain, teeth grinding, jaw clicking, and limited jaw mobility. Botox works by temporarily weakening these muscle contractions, alleviating compression on the TMJ and reducing associated symptoms like headaches, jaw pain, and lockjaw.
