What is Laser Gum Contouring?
Enhance Your Smile Without Altering Your Teeth
Laser gum contouring, also known as gingival sculpting, is a modern and minimally invasive procedure designed to reshape and redefine the appearance of your gums. This procedure is ideal for those looking to address concerns such as a “gummy smile” or uneven gumlines without making changes to the teeth themselves.
Common Uses of Laser Gum Contouring
- Gummy Smiles: Laser gum contouring is an excellent solution for individuals with a “gummy smile,” where a significant portion of the gums is visible when smiling. The laser precisely sculpts the gumline to reveal more of your natural teeth, achieving a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
- Uneven Gums: If you have uneven gums, laser gum contouring can create symmetry by gently reshaping the gumline. This can result in a more harmonious appearance and improved overall smile aesthetics.
Common Questions About Laser Gum Contouring
The procedure is typically well-tolerated, and any discomfort is minimal. Local anesthesia is often used to ensure a comfortable experience.
The duration varies based on individual needs, but laser gum contouring is generally a quick and efficient process.
Recovery is usually quick, with minimal downtime. Most individuals can resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure.
Laser gum contouring provides long-lasting results, enhancing the aesthetics of your smile for years to come.
