Laser smile contouring is a great way to get rid of that “gummy smile!”
Laser contouring is a non-surgical advanced method for shaping and changing the gum tissue around the teeth to create an esthetic and pleasing shape for your smile. Unlike traditional dentistry which involves a scalpel and often stitches, the laser is a very small device that contours the gums to shorten the gummy smile, lengthen the appearance of the teeth, and correct uneven gums. Because the laser seals as it moves, there is no need for stitches, there is no bleeding and very minimal recovery or maintenance, and usually takes only one visit.
