What is Gummy Smile Contouring?

An uneven gum line or a gummy smile can have a negative impact on the overall appearance of a person’s smile. When you smile, you want to show people your beautiful teeth instead of a smile with unattractive gums. We can use a laser treatment to contour the gums in the right way to match your teeth.

The benefit of using a laser for gummy smile contouring is that the laser is more comfortable, and it is less invasive compared with methods that were used in the past. The laser is used to shape the gums into a symmetrical line and eliminate overgrown gum areas. When a laser is used for gum contouring, you can enjoy the benefits of a comfortable experience and fast healing after the appointment.

Examples of common gum treatments that are completed with a laser include both periodontal gum therapy and a frenectomy. These treatments are determined on a case-by-case basis for each patient.
