Gum Contouring Encino, CA


An asymmetrical or "gummy" smile is a very common concern of patients whose gums appear too big when they smile.

Where gum tissue overgrows to make the teeth seem almost secondary in appearance, a cosmetic dental technique called gum contouring can be used.

Gum contouring procedure can easily correct "gummy" smile-lines through the use of a laser. Unlike other traditional methods, the laser simply vaporizes and seals the overgrowth of the gum tissue with no cutting, bleeding or sutures involved. The laser also kills bacteria while sealing the gums, thus minimizing the chances of infection. Gum contouring procedure takes only a few minutes and the results are healthy, natural looking gums and a beautiful, well-proportioned smile.
