How Gum Contouring CAN REVEAL YOUR BEST SMILE
- Fast Treatment: Laser gum contouring takes only one appointment and requires a recovery time of just a few days to a couple of weeks.

Imagine Loving Your Smile
Take the First Step: Some patients may undergo BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment to lower the upper lip, but this is only a temporary solution. Gum contouring can provide permanent results that make a smile look far healthier and more attractive. Often, gum contouring is recommended as a preliminary procedure for those who wish to receive porcelain veneers or dental crowns.
Does the procedure hurt?
Anesthesia is used to completely numb the treatment area. Sedation can provide further comfort for anxious patients. With advanced soft tissue lasers, the procedure is more comfortable than ever before. The tool seals tissue as it works, which results in minimal bleeding and inflammation. Compared to traditional methods involving a scalpel, laser gum contouring involves very little recovery time.
Admit it: Achieving a beautiful smile has never sounded so easy.
Speak to a dentist if excess gum tissue is causing you to feel unhappy with your smile. For the right patients, contouring can provide dramatic results in one visit.+
