Gum Reshaping

Many people believe cosmetic treatment involves changing the shape and colour of your teeth. Have you ever thought that your gums can be contoured to improve your smile? If you have a gummy smile, our dentist near you will suggest getting a minimally invasive procedure known as gum reshaping. Gum reshaping, also known as gum recontouring, is a cosmetic dental procedure done to improve your smile. At Enhance Dental Centre, our experienced dentist in Vancouver, BC provide you with gum reshaping treatments .

What to Expect!

Gum reshaping, can be done by the help of either lasers or scalpels. We have to be aware that there is no difference in the outcome of the treatment. Laser sometimes is used to reshape the gum or stop bleeding during tooth crown preparation.
Gum reshaping is typically carried out on the front teeth as a cosmetic procedure. Our dentists in Vancouver, BC, after numbing your gums, gently shape the tissue around the tooth by using a laser or a scalpel. In some occasions, we need to reshape the bone underneath the gum to have a better result.
You might have some pain and discomfort for a few days after the procedure. We recommend taking over-the-counter painkillers to relieve pain. Take enough rest and try to avoid any strenuous activity

At Enhance Dental Centre, we offer gum reshaping near you as a simple and effective way to improve your smile. To learn more about gum reshaping, contact us today!

When Is It Recommended?

Gummy smile

If you have excessive gum tissue covering the tooth surface, gum reshaping may be a right treatment for you. It will not only improve your smile but makes it easier to keep the area clean.

Gum recession versus gummy smile

Recession is when your gum pulls away from the teeth and appears elongated. It can be caused by aggressive tooth brushing, gum disease, or aging. Gum recession can cause several issues such as teeth sensitivity, decay, aesthetic problems, and even loss of your teeth. It is usually treated by a procedure called gum grafting, which can be used to cover the receded area. The gum graft is taken from another area, usually the roof of your mouth, and grafted into place.

I can't say enough great things about Enhance Dental, Dr. Pazhoh, and his team! From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. The office is warm and welcoming, always spotless, and even smells amazing; it’s the little details that make such a difference.

Dr. Pazhoh is hands down the best dentist I’ve ever had. It’s truly obvious that he cares about his patients, not just their teeth but their overall well-being. He always takes extra time to explain every step of my procedures, making sure I feel comfortable and informed, something I’ve never experienced at any other dental office. That level of care is rare and I appreciate it a lot!

The staff is equally incredible; they’re all very skilled, professional, and always friendly. It also feels like walking into a family business, the staff looks like they really like each other, and work very well together. I never feel rushed, and every visit is smooth and enjoyable. The team is always on time, clear and upfront about costs, with no hidden fees, and they encourage me to ask questions so I fully understand my insurance and how to maximize my hard-earned benefits.

The combination of Dr. Pazhoh’s expertise and the latest high-tech procedures and equipment means I didn’t have to be referred out for treatments that other dentists usually send you elsewhere for, which saved me so much time, money and hassle.

If you’re looking for a dental office where you’ll feel genuinely cared for, this is the place. I’m not trusting my care to anyone else!

I’ve been coming to this dentist for four years now and every time, I feel at ease and confident in my dental goals. This is coming from someone who hates the dentist. I won’t trust any other dentistry around.

Had a great experience here as a new patient. I went in for a routine checkup and cleaning and was treated like I’ve been a patient for years. My examination was done by Dr. Pazhoh, he took his time and completed the exam with great care. I didn’t have any major issues which was a relief 😅 they took a 3d scan of my teeth which showed that I primarily chew with one side of my mouth, I had somewhat felt this before but previously I was told that it’s not a big deal. Dr. Pazhoh offered some potential treatments for it which could also straighten one of my front teeth which has bothered me since I was a teenager (again I was previously told it’s not really worth fixing since it’s barely noticeable) The rest of the staff were very friendly as well. So glad to have found such an amazing clinic so close to my home 😁 thank you all

I came in to get bonding done on my two front teeth and it was a super great experience. I had another dentist I was going to for years and had a really bad experience so I decided to try Enhance and they went above and beyond my expectations! They were super professional and my bonding looks 100% natural. I’ll be coming here again for my cleanings! Lovely staff as well 🙂
