What is Laser Gum Contouring?

Gum contouring is a cosmetic treatment used to subtly enhance someone's smile by reshaping the gum tissue. Many people choose laser gum contouring if they have a 'gummy smile'—where the gum extends past the normal point, making teeth appear smaller or uneven.

Your dentist uses a very fine laser to gently 'trim' excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth and create a balanced, aesthetically pleasing gum line. Unlike other treatments, laser gum contouring is highly effective and, in the vast majority of cases, does not need to be repeated as the gum is very unlikely to grow back.
