Laser Gum Contouring for a Beautiful Smile
Your gums play a crucial role in both your oral health and the appearance of your smile. Cosmetic gum contouring is a procedure designed to improve both by reshaping your gum line. Using a laser, we can gently remove excess gum tissue to create a more even and symmetrical gum line.
Laser gum contouring offers many benefits, including enhanced precision and minimal discomfort. This modern technique ensures a quicker recovery, reduced swelling, and a more beautiful smile. It’s an effective solution for patients with uneven gum lines or a "gummy" smile, providing long-lasting and natural-looking results that boost confidence and overall oral health.
Dealing with a Gummy Smile
A gummy smile occurs when excess gum tissue covers a large portion of the teeth, leading to an uneven gum line. This condition can be caused by various factors, such as genetics, medical conditions, medications, or jawbone abnormalities. While it’s often primarily a cosmetic concern, it can be effectively treated through gum contouring.
Instead of using a traditional scalpel, we prefer to use advanced laser technology for the procedure. This method offers improved precision, comfort, and minimal recovery time, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing smile. Laser gum contouring provides a safe, efficient solution to achieve a balanced, beautiful gum line.
