GUM RECONTOURING  

Improving the appearance of your smile may extend beyond just your teeth. Sometimes your gums may have uneven or excessive tissue growth.  The latter is often known as a 'gummy smile'.

 

Laser like gum recontouring is the preferred treatment for such individuals.  It is a safe and cost-effective procedure that quickly corrects the appearance of the gum line through simply reshaping and removing excess tissue.

 

Key Facts

The procedure is quite straightforward and involves: a local anesthetic being applied to the gums, then a laser like device is guided to trim and shape the gum tissue

 

Following the procedure the gums may be tender for up to one week

 

Gum contouring uses the latest technology in cosmetic surgery

 

The laser like device immediately seals the tissue avoiding messy cutting or bleeding
