Gum Recontouring
A gummy smile is likely to keep you hiding behind others if a camera is nearby. The protruding excess tissue can lead to a greater risk of gum disease while also causing you to feel self-conscious about your appearance. But with gum recontouring, we can use our specialized dental instruments to remove this additional tissue and create an even, beautiful, and healthier gumline.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
Though many people associate cosmetic dentistry with costly treatments, that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Its expensive reputation may come from the fact that dental insurance rarely covers cosmetic dentistry treatments, so you will typically need to pay for them out of pocket.
Improving your smile may seem pricy at first, but when you consider what an important investment it is in your self-esteem, confidence and quality of life, you can easily see its value. In fact, having an attractive smile could help you make money by increasing your job opportunities!
At Creative Dental, we’re committed to helping make your cosmetic dentistry treatment budget-friendly, which is why we are proud to accept flexible financing through CareCredit. You can learn more about this program on our website, or by calling our office.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Covered by Insurance?
Unfortunately, dental insurance rarely covers elective procedures, and most cosmetic treatments fall under this category. There may be exceptions, however, if the procedure also provides oral health benefits. For example, a dental crown or veneer may receive partial coverage if it is protecting a damaged tooth. Gum recontouring could also qualify for some coverage if an infection was previously present in your gums.
Typically, dental insurance will cover about 50-80% of the cost in these cases, however it depends on your individual policy. Our team will be happy to help you understand your specific plan, file your paperwork, and maximize your benefits on your behalf.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
The longevity of your new and improved smile will vary depending on which specific treatments you’ve received. Some treatments naturally last longer than others. Quick and easy treatments like professional whitening don’t usually last as long as more extensive treatments like smile makeovers.
Gum recontouring nearly always produces permanent, beautiful results, since gum tissue will not grow back.
As a general rule, the better you maintain your oral health, the longer you can expect your results to last. This includes good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, wearing a mouthguard or nightguard, not using your teeth as tools, and limiting your consumption of foods and beverages that could stain your teeth.
Do Cosmetic Dentists Offer Payment Plans or Financing?
Yes, many cosmetic dentists offer payment plans or financing. At Creative Dental, we happily accept payment plans through our preferred lender, CareCredit. These plans can help you break up your cosmetic dentistry treatment into multiple, low-to-no interest payments that are easier on your budget.
To apply, you can follow the link on our website. You may need to provide them with information such as your income and social security number, as they may ask your permission to do a credit check. It usually only takes a few minutes to apply, and typically you’ll get your answer instantly, or within several business days.
