If your gums are too high or too low on your teeth and you are unhappy with your smile, you may be a candidate for gum contouring surgery in Malaysia as it will help uneven gums. You may need gum contouring if you have:
- A Gummy Smile
If you are bothered about your gummy smile (the showing of too much gum tissue around your teeth when you smile), gum contouring can tackle or reduce the severity of this problem. Your teeth will be exposed to achieve a balanced ratio of pink (gums) vs white (teeth), leaving you with a proportionate and an aesthetically pleasing smile.
- Periodontal Gum Disease
In some persistent cases of gum disease, gum contouring can help to treat and prevent recurrence of the disease by giving your gums enhanced access to home cleaning.
A Deep Cavity in Your Tooth
Teeth that have deep cavities with bases are located beyond the gum line and may be unsalvageable. With gum contouring, the relevant gum line can be lowered to re-expose the floor of the cavity, enabling your dentist to securely place a filling, crown, thereby salvaging your tooth from a possible extraction.
