Softouch Dental Care is proud to offer safe and effective laser gum recontouring surgery. Also called gum reshaping, this dental service is a great way to correct cosmetic gum problems for a smile you’ll love to show off. Gum contouring can also be part of a periodontal treatment plan to help restore optimal oral health.
Laser gum reshaping is a permanent dental procedure. Any excess gum tissue that is removed to reposition the gum line and reveal more of the teeth will not grow back.
This longevity is a relief for patients, particularly those who are self-conscious about the appearance of their gums and don’t want to worry about excess gum tissue returning in the future. You’ll only need one gum recontouring procedure to enjoy a long-lasting and dramatic improvement in your smile.
Concerns That Laser Gum Reshaping Can Treat
Gum reshaping is an excellent option if you have a gummy smile. A gummy smile is characterized by gum tissue that rests too low on the teeth and makes them look short. Laser gum recontouring provides an aesthetically pleasing lift and makes your teeth appear more proportional.
This laser procedure is also appropriate if your gums are uneven. Your gums may sit high on some teeth and low on others, creating a mismatched appearance. Gum reshaping can create a more even gum line.
There’s no need to live with gum imperfections that detract from your smile. Modern laser gum surgery offers a quick and painless way to transform the look of your gums. Since the process doesn’t involve cutting the gum tissue, which was standard in the past, it requires virtually no recovery time and the risk of infection is very low.
