Ideal Candidates for Gum Contouring

Patients frequently seek out our gum contouring procedure (also known as laser periodontal surgery) once they’ve noticed a gumline that has begun to creep down and over their teeth.

A healthy smile requires a proper tooth-to-gum ratio. If you feel as though you have an unnecessary amount of visible gum tissue under your upper lip, Dr. Samadian’s team may suggest laser gum surgery to help balance out this issue and create a more symmetrical smile.

No two patients are exactly the same, and we offer a number of procedures that can help you enjoy a gorgeous grin. During your consultation, we’ll learn about your goals, and help you decide whether or not this particular periodontal treatment is the right choice for you.

What Exactly Is Laser Gum Contouring?

Laser gum contouring—or gum reshaping—utilizes soft tissue lasers to reshape the gumline and reduce the visible presence of gum tissue. This creates a more balanced and harmonious tooth-to-gum ratio, so you can properly show off your pearly whites without having to worry about an overly gummy smile.

Our Advanced Technique

Dr. Samadian’s team uses laser energy to reduce overgrown gum tissue in small increments. Since the laser will seal your remaining tissues after the excess is removed, you won’t need to worry about any incisions or bleeding.

It typically only takes a single gum reshaping treatment to create your optimal results. Once your gumline has been evened out, you’ll enjoy a smile that features both the teeth and the gums in equal measure. This procedure is frequently performed alongside either veneers or crowns, to achieve ideal proportions and symmetry.
