Laser gum contouring reshapes an uneven or excessive gumline — often described as a “gummy smile” — using precise laser technology, revealing more of the natural tooth structure and creating better balance in your smile.
Who This Is For
Patients self-conscious about a gummy smile, uneven gum height, or gum tissue that covers too much of the visible tooth are candidates. Periodontal health treatments also support patients managing gum disease or inflammation.
The Process
- Assessment of gum health and desired contour
- Local anesthesia for comfort
- Precise laser reshaping of gum tissue
- Healing check at follow-up
Expected Results
Laser treatment is precise and typically causes less bleeding than traditional gum surgery. Final results become visible as the gum tissue fully heals over the following weeks.
Aftercare
Mild tenderness following the procedure is normal. Gentle oral hygiene and avoiding irritation to the treated area supports faster healing.
