What is the gum contouring Procedure?

1. local anesthesia will be applied to the gums in order to numb them. The type of numbing you receive for gum surgery may vary depending on factors such as the extension of the area to be treated.
2. Gum surgery involves the removal of excess gum tissue to re-contour and reshapes as planned for an aesthetic outcome.
3. This gum lift procedure typically takes around twenty to thirty minutes, and recovery is quick with minimal discomfort.

There are problems that can delay the gum lift operation. Occasionally, patients may have a significant amount of bone growth in their mouths as well.
