Laser Gum Treatment: Precision Contouring for a Balanced Smile

Sometimes, a beautiful smile is hidden behind uneven or excessive gum tissue. Whether you are concerned about a “gummy” smile or an asymmetrical gum line, our advanced Laser Gum Treatment offers a precise, minimally invasive solution. Using state-of-the-art dental lasers, we can reshape your gum tissue with incredible accuracy, creating a more balanced frame for your teeth. This modern approach eliminates the need for scalpels or sutures, resulting in a faster, more comfortable healing process.

The Core Benefits of Laser Gum Treatment

Corrects a "Gummy" Smile

Smile Removes excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth structure, making teeth appear longer and more proportionate.

Minimally Invasive & Painless

The laser technology is incredibly gentle, often requiring only a small amount of local anesthetic for a completely comfortable experience.

Creates Symmetrical Results

Balances an uneven gum line to ensure your smile looks harmonious and well-framed from every angle.

Instant Sealing & Faster Healing

The laser cauterizes as it works, which means virtually no bleeding, no stitches, and a significantly reduced recovery time compared to traditional surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the laser procedure take?
A typical gum contouring session is very efficient, usually taking between 30 to 60 minutes depending on the complexity of the reshaping required.
Is the treatment permanent?
Yes. Once the excess gum tissue is removed and the line is reshaped, the tissue does not grow back, providing you with a permanent improvement to your smile's aesthetics.
Will I be in pain after the procedure?
Most patients report only minor "tightness" or soreness for a day or two. Because there are no incisions or stitches, the discomfort is far less than traditional methods.
Can laser treatment help with gum disease?
Yes. Beyond cosmetic shaping, we also use lasers to remove infected tissue and bacteria from deep gum pockets, promoting faster healing of periodontal disease.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for gum contouring?
If you feel your teeth look too short or your smile shows too much gum, you are likely a great candidate. We will perform a quick health check of your gums during your consultation to confirm.
