Your smile plays a key role in how you feel about yourself. If you’re self-conscious about your teeth or gums, it can affect your confidence in social situations. Whether you’re concerned about sharp, uneven, broken, or overlapping teeth, or prominent or receding gums, dental contouring can help improve the appearance of your smile and boost your self-esteem.
At Jiva Dental, we offer both tooth and gum contouring services in Kingston upon Thames. Our experienced and skilled dentists will guide you through the available treatments to determine what works best for your specific needs. We understand that every smile is unique, and we are here to help you achieve the smile you deserve.
Tooth Contouring: Reshape Your Smile
Tooth contouring, also known as reshaping, is an effective treatment for correcting minor imperfections in your teeth, such as overlapping, crooked, chipped, or cracked teeth. It can also improve your bite and reduce the risk of tartar build-up in hard-to-reach areas. By gently removing unevenness, we can enhance the overall look of your teeth.
The procedure involves reshaping the surface of your teeth, sometimes using specialist resins to adjust their length, shape, or position. Even subtle changes can have a significant impact on the appearance of your smile. If larger adjustments are needed, other treatments like dental crowns or veneers may be recommended.
Benefits of Tooth Contouring:
Gum Contouring: Achieve a More Balanced Smile
Gum health is vital not only for the well-being of your teeth but also for your overall health. Issues with gum appearance, such as excessive gum tissue covering your teeth (creating a “gummy smile”), can make you feel self-conscious. At Jiva Dental, we offer gum contouring to reshape the gum line for a more aesthetically pleasing result.
What is Gum Contouring? Gum contouring involves reshaping the gums quickly and painlessly, with local anaesthesia ensuring comfort during the procedure. We carefully trim and sculpt the gums to reveal more of your natural teeth, making them appear longer and enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.
Benefits of Gum Contouring:
Receding Gums: Restore Your Smile and Comfort
Receding gums occur when the gums pull away from the teeth, exposing more of the tooth surface. This condition can cause tooth sensitivity and, in more severe cases, tooth loss. Receding gums can be caused by various factors, including health conditions or lifestyle choices.
Our skilled dentists offer treatments to address receding gums, including scale and polish or more advanced cosmetic procedures for more significant cases.
