What Is Gum Recontouring?

This procedure involves changing the shape of the gums with a dental laser to be more aesthetically pleasing. Generally, this cosmetic treatment is used when a patient experiences one of the following:

Excess Gum Tissue: If you have a “gummy smile,” where there is too much gum tissue covering up your teeth, gum recontouring can help by removing extra tissue to expose more of the enamel.
Uneven Gumline: When there is too much gum coverage in a specific area, gum recontouring can be used to create an even smile.
