Laser gum contouring is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes your gum line using a dental laser, creating a balanced, symmetrical smile by removing excess gum tissue.

Anyone with a "gummy smile," uneven gum lines, or excess gum tissue covering their teeth may benefit from this procedure. A consultation will help determine your suitability.

The laser precisely removes excess gum tissue while sealing blood vessels, resulting in minimal bleeding, faster healing, and improved comfort compared to traditional methods.

The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort. Most patients report little to no pain during and after the procedure.

The procedure usually takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the amount of gum tissue being reshaped.

Recovery is typically quick and easy. You may experience minor swelling or sensitivity for a few days, but most patients can return to normal activities immediately.

Benefits include a more attractive smile, improved gum health, precise results, and a quicker, less invasive procedure compared to traditional gum surgery.

Yes, the results are permanent since excess gum tissue does not grow back. Maintaining good oral hygiene will ensure lasting results.

Costs vary based on the complexity of the case. We’ll provide a personalized estimate during your consultation and offer flexible payment options.

We use advanced laser technology, offer convenient evening appointments, and ensure patient comfort throughout the process to give you the best possible experience.

Gum contouring done without lasers involves using a scalpel to remove excess gum tissue and sutures to repair the area. Laser technology allows gum contouring to be done with a precision laser to remove excess gum tissue, which can be less invasive and allow for a more comfortable recovery. The soft-tissue diode laser typically does not cause bleeding, which means that there is no need to stitch the area with sutures after the contouring. Laser dentistry can be faster and more precise.

How Long Does Recovery Take? Most gum contouring procedures require anywhere from one week to one to two months to fully heal. The extensiveness of the work largely determines the healing window. If a lot of gum tissue is grafted or removed, healing is likely to take multiple weeks or a month.

...Take medication as directed. It's normal to have some soreness after gum contouring.
