Understanding the Components

Gum Contouring

Gum contouring reshapes the gum line to correct uneven or excessive gum tissue for a balanced appearance. The minimally invasive procedure uses advanced techniques to ensure patient comfort and quick recovery.

Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells designed to cover the front surfaces of teeth, correcting imperfections like discoloration, chips, and gaps. They enhance the smile’s symmetry, color, and alignment, providing a polished and flawless look.

Crowns

Crowns are caps that cover damaged or misshapen teeth, restoring their size, shape, and strength. They improve teeth’ appearance while also reinforcing their durability and function.

The Combined Approach

Gum contouring creates an even gum line, providing a perfect foundation for veneers and crowns. While each treatment enhances specific aspects of the smile, combining them offers a comprehensive transformation.

Candidacy

Ideal candidates for this combined treatment include patients with uneven gums, gummy smiles, short teeth, discoloration, chips, or damaged teeth. This treatment can address conditions such as gummy smiles, tooth imperfections, uneven gum lines, and restoration of the shape and color of damaged teeth.

The Procedure

Consultation 

Before your treatment, Dr. Adrianne Koster will assess your smile, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan during a consultation.

Treatment Process

  1. Gum contouring to refine the gum line.
  2. Custom fabrication of veneers and crowns tailored to your teeth.
  3. Application of veneers and crowns for a seamless finish.

Can you fix a dental bridge?

If a dental bridge is damaged, Dr. Koster will likely order a new one to be custom-fit in your mouth.
