What is Gum Recontouring?

Gum recontouring is a cosmetic dental procedure that can be used to remove excess gum tissue that’s covering your teeth. Its primary goal is to help improve the appearance of your smile by showing more of your bright, beautiful teeth and bring more symmetry and harmony to your smile. We typically recommend this treatment for patients who:

  • Are self-conscious about having a gummy smile
  • Have an uneven gumline
  • Have teeth that look short or square due to their gums
  • Have gum overgrowth due to genetics

If you can relate to any of these situations, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our wonderful team. We can guide you through all of your treatment options and make sure you come out of your journey feeling your absolute best.

How Does Gum Recontouring Work?

At FS Dental Arts, our gum recontouring process is completed using a Picasso Diode Laser. It emits a very thin beam of light from a small pen that vaporizes soft tissue within the mouth, gently removing it without the use of a scalpel and sutures. It cauterizes the tissue as it removes it as well, minimizing bleeding and your risk of post-operative complications like infections. Dr. Sanchez will reshape your gumline using this advanced technology, revealing more of your dentition.
