Gum contouring, also known as gingivoplasty or gingival contouring, is a dental surgical technique that aims to sculpt the gum line to improve both the appearance of the smile and oral health. At Dr. Laurent SERS’ practice in Cannes, this treatment is performed with extreme precision using advanced technologies.
Gum contouring is not merely an aesthetic procedure. It is a treatment with multiple benefits, improving both the appearance of the smile, oral health, and the longevity of aesthetic treatments such as veneers or crowns.
When gums excessively cover the teeth, the smile can appear disproportionate. What is known as a “gummy smile” can be corrected by precise contouring, revealing more of the tooth surface and creating a harmonious gum line.
Contouring is often necessary before placing veneers or crowns to ensure an optimal fit and a lasting result. It is a key step to enhance dental restorations.
By removing excess gum tissue, contouring facilitates brushing access and reduces the risk of periodontal diseases, as gums become easier to clean.
Every step of gum contouring is designed to combine precision, comfort, and aesthetics. Thanks to digital planning and advanced technology, Dr. Laurent SERS guarantees a tailor-made procedure, with complete peace of mind.
Dr. SERS performs a comprehensive 3D analysis of your mouth and face, using an intra-oral scanner and clinical photographs. Thanks to simulation software (such as Digital Smile Design), you can visualize the expected result even before the procedure.
A surgical guide is designed from digital impressions to guide every action of the practitioner during the procedure. This ensures precise and symmetrical contouring.
Under local anesthesia, Dr. SERS performs the contouring using a laser or specific instruments, depending on the situation. The laser allows for rapid healing, minimal bleeding, and no sutures.
The patient leaves with personalized instructions. Temporary sensitivity may occur, but it disappears within a few days.
Because the success of the treatment does not end with the procedure, rigorous follow-up and personalized care are essential. Dr. Laurent SERS and his team support you at every step to ensure lasting aesthetic results and optimal gum health.
