What Is Gum Recontouring?

Laser gum recontouring can remove excess gum tissue creating the appearance of a gummy smile

Gum recontouring is a cosmetic dentistry procedure designed to remove excess tissue along the gumline to reveal a more balanced, symmetrical smile. In addition to improving the aesthetics of your smile, gum recontouring can also help improve your oral health by making it easier to keep your gums healthy and clean, thereby reducing your risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease.

The Gum Recontouring Process

The gum recontouring process begins with a consultation with your dentist

The gum recontouring process begins with local anesthesia to keep your mouth comfortable during treatment. With today’s soft-tissue lasers, gum recontouring is more comfortable and precise than ever before, and in many cases will not require sutures. Your dentist will use a concentrated beam of light to carefully remove the excess tissue along your gumline. The laser cauterizes as it goes, reducing your risk of infection and allowing for faster healing.

The Benefits of Gum Recontouring

The benefits of gum recontouring include a less gummy smile and improved oral health

Gum recontouring is a fast and easy way to reveal more of the natural structure of your teeth, balance out your smile, and eliminate excess gum tissue that could be vulnerable to infection. It makes caring for your teeth and gums easier, all the while making your smile appear broader and more aesthetically pleasing.
