Gum sculpting is a procedure that is generally done for cosmetic purposes to eliminate a Gummy Smile and to even out the gum line prior to cosmetic dentistry. Gum sculpting may give your smile a natural, youthful appearance, exposing more of your natural teeth.

As a natural gum structure or as ageing occurs, gums may shrink, giving the appearance of lengthening teeth. Gum recession is also caused by stress on the gums caused by a bad bite. Too much gum or uneven gum levels can detract from an otherwise great looking smile. This can be painlessly corrected by simple gum sculpting. The dentist can use a laser to remove the excess tissue of your gummy smile.

This procedure involves contouring of the gum around your teeth with the aid of latest laser techniques. The result is an enhanced and positively more noticeable smile.

natural smile is something that all can enjoy

While any general dentist can legally announce that he or she is a cosmetic dentist, and many dentists do cosmetic bonding, it is recommend that any patient who wants cosmetic bonding only, go to a dentist with extensive post-graduate training in cosmetic dentistry.

A cosmetic bonding is usually a one-visit procedure. The tooth is prepared by lightly roughening the area to be repaired, which usually doesn't require anesthetic. Then the surface of the tooth is etched with a gel, and a treatment of bonding primers and resins is applied to the tooth. Finally the composite is applied.

At The Welbeck Clinic the cosmetic dentists provide the best cosmetic bonding services for its clients so that a healthy, good-looking, natural smile is something that all can enjoy.
