Gum Contouring

Reframing Your Pearly Whites

Many factors come together to create a perfect smile. Healthy pink gums form a stark contrast to the white teeth, framing the tooth’s natural beauty.

Sometimes one small area of gum can detract from an otherwise pleasant smile. The scalloped flow may be uneven, or a thick area may protrude unnaturally, causing a visual distraction.

Just as a piece of art benefits from reframing, gums can be contoured to complement the teeth. Fortunately, laser technology often makes this procedure quick, painless, and dramatic. The results can be seen immediately. After a few days of healing, your gums look perfectly natural. In some cases, more extensive contouring may be discussed. Our Doctors will evaluate many factors before deciding which approach will give you the best results.
