If you find that your confidence and self expression in Leeds is being held back because you have a ‘gummy’ smile, then it’s about time you got along to your dentist and talk about having your gums contoured. This operation has become a piece of cake to do thanks to laser surgery and you can be freed in no time at all from your inhibitions. Once you sit in that chair, your gums will be numbed with a local anaesthetic and then the dentist will slowly burn away the gums with the laser- the gums that show when you smile; this will only take around 30 minutes to do and it won’t cost a lot either. For a few days after, you may feel a little discomfort but because lasers do very little damage, healing will be fairly quick and you can also take painkillers to numb any pain. You must be careful of what you eat and drink, and of your oral hygiene; a medicated mouthwash is highly recommended until your gums settle. In some cases, it would be advisable to have veneers fitted afterwards to cover up areas of the teeth that have no enamel on them. But hey, come on! All of this is nothing compared to the freedom that you now have and are able to express yourself in a way that you never could before.
