I’m just wondering my brother is in grade 9 and he has to get gum surgery. I was wondering, does it look weird when you get it done? And would he be able to go to school. Main question though is if it looks weird when it's done and how long it takes to get your gums/teeth to look normal again. Also need help about some good miami gum surgery.

At his age I really question why he needs gum surgery, I would seek the opinion of another dentist. As to surgery, it is extremely painful and could could be swollen for at least a week. I am really curious as to why a dentist would suggest this for someone so young>

Hello everybody,

Gum contouring alone is considered a cosmetic procedure. Most of the time it is not medically necessary. Most people have their gums reshaped to improve the appearance of their smile. However, some people undergo gum contouring surgery as part of other necessary periodontal procedures, such as crown lengthening, pocket reduction, and regenerative procedures. The cost of gum contouring depends on the extent of the work being done. Talk to your dentist about the cost based on your individual needs. Dental insurance does not typically cover gum contouring for cosmetic purposes. Gum contouring surgery is performed in the dentist's office. Currently, dentists use scalpels, lasers, and radio surgery to perform the gum contouring procedure. Ask your dentist which technique would be the most suitable for your situation. Before surgery, your doctor should go over what he or she will be doing during the procedure. Often, dentists will use a pen and draw a line to mark the new gum line. That way, you can see exactly how much gum will be removed or how the gum line will be reshaped.
