Gum Contouring
“Gummy smiles” are a very common problem. It is caused by overgrowth of the gum tissue that covers the teeth. This occurrence can be caused by a variety of things, including heredity, health conditions and even the use of many common high blood pressure medications. A gummy smile can dominate the mouth, and make the teeth seem almost secondary in appearance. With the use of a laser, we can change the look and shape of the gums. The laser actually vaporizes unnecessary and unsightly tissue with unmatched accuracy and effectiveness. What is left in the place of the overgrown gums is a healthy-looking, well-proportioned smile. The process takes only a few minutes for most, and there is usually very little discomfort.
