What Is Gum Contouring?
Whether you have big gums, gum recession, or want to fight periodontal disease, gum contouring is a simple procedure that reshapes your gum line. We use innovative laser technology to painlessly cut away parts of your gum for a better shape. Gum contouring not only boosts the look of your smile but also removes bacteria and prevents further infection from gingivitis.

Gum Contouring Surgery Expectations
Gum contouring before and after photos will amaze you. You’ll have a brand new smile following gum contouring surgery. Since we use lasers to cut away excess gum tissue, your recovery time is much shorter than traditional gum surgery. You should expect minimal bleeding and little to no pain.

Benefits of Gum Contouring
Gum contouring offers many benefits, including:
- Lengthen and exposes teeth for a more even smile
- Provides a straighter smile in spots with uneven gum tissue
- Eliminates excessive tissue that can easily trap food particles
