A beautiful smile means more than just blemish-free teeth. When excessive gum tissues cover disproportionate amounts of your visible tooth structure, it can cause your smile to appear uneven, even if this is not the case. While gummy smiles have impacted confidence levels for years, the combination of advanced dental technology and our conservative approach to cosmetic care has allowed our knowledgeable team to help patients address these concerns through gum contouring for over a decade. Gum contouring is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve your smile’s appearance and reduce your risks of gum health concerns by removing excess tissue and making your gum line more even and symmetrical.
A gummy smile is more than just a cosmetic concern, and with the presence of additional factors such as poor hygiene or diet, it can contribute to significant oral health issues and infection. Our office uses advanced laser treatment in the majority of our gum contouring appointments, as it helps accurately and precisely remove excess tissue with minimal tissue trauma and damage.
