Excessive or Uneven Gums

How do you treat excessive or uneven gums?

Depending on the patient, scaling or root planing could be an effective solution for treating excessive or uneven gums. This deep cleaning treatment can eliminate bacteria that could be leading to gum recession. Sometimes antibiotics can aid in soothing gums as well.

More typically, gum recession surgery (often called a gum lift) is the best option for treating this condition. Our expert team will mark the position of the new gum line and give the patient local anesthesia to ensure he or she is entirely at ease. During the surgery, the gum and bone will be separated and reshaped to create a more aesthetically pleasing smile. After the treatment, the patient will be given thorough care instructions for accelerated healing so that they can enjoy showing off their new grin as soon as possible.
