Transform Your Smile with Expert Gum Contouring

Excessive gum tissue, commonly known as a "gummy smile," can make your teeth look shorter and disrupt the harmony of your smile. Our doctors provide gum contouring, a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at reshaping the gums to enhance the length of your teeth and achieve a more balanced smile. With the use of advanced laser technology, our doctors can precisely sculpt the gums, ensuring a faster recovery and better symmetry between your gums and teeth.

The advanced laser technology used in gum contouring typically results in minimal discomfort, allowing patients to quickly resume their regular activities after the procedure.
