Laser Gum Lifts & Reshaping – Reveal a More Balanced, Beautiful Smile

Laser gum lifts and reshaping, also known as gum contouring, is a modern cosmetic dental procedure that transforms the appearance of your smile by gently sculpting and redefining the gum line. This procedure is particularly effective for patients with a “gummy smile,” uneven gum lines, or excessive gum tissue covering their teeth—creating the illusion of small or disproportionate teeth.

Using advanced laser technology, this treatment provides a minimally invasive, highly precise, and virtually painless way to enhance your smile’s overall symmetry and harmony. By reshaping the gum tissue with a dental laser, we can uncover more of your natural teeth, resulting in a more attractive, balanced, and confident smile.

What Is a Laser Gum Lift?

A laser gum lift involves using a soft-tissue dental laser to carefully remove or reshape excess gum tissue around the teeth. This exposes more of the tooth’s surface, evens out the gum line, and enhances the natural contours of your smile. In some cases, the procedure can also improve oral health by reducing pockets that can harbor bacteria.

Common Reasons for a Gum Lift:

• Gummy smile (excessive gum tissue covering teeth)
• Uneven gum lines causing teeth to appear misaligned
• Short or stubby-looking teeth due to excessive gum coverage
• Swollen or overgrown gums (often due to genetics or medication)
• Creating symmetry before veneers or other cosmetic treatments

Benefits of Laser Gum Reshaping:

• ✅ Minimally Invasive: No scalpels or stitches required
• ✅ Precise & Controlled: Targeted reshaping with minimal discomfort
• ✅ Faster Healing: Reduced bleeding and swelling for quicker recovery
• ✅ Improved Smile Aesthetics: Reveals a brighter, more balanced smile
• ✅ Comfortable Experience: Most patients require only local anesthesia
• ✅ Enhances Other Treatments: Often paired with veneers or bonding for optimal results

The Procedure:

1. Consultation & Smile Analysis: We carefully assess your gum-to-teeth ratio and discuss your aesthetic goals.
2. Planning & Preparation: Using digital imaging, we design your ideal gum line and outline the treatment plan.
3. Laser Contouring: A dental laser is used to gently remove and reshape excess gum tissue with precision and minimal discomfort.
4. Post-Treatment Care: Healing is typically quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within 24–48 hours.

Is Laser Gum Lifting Right for You?

Laser gum reshaping is an excellent choice for patients who:

• Are unhappy with the proportion of their gums to their teeth
• Want a more symmetrical or youthful smile
• Have healthy teeth and gums but desire aesthetic improvements
• Are preparing for other cosmetic procedures like veneers or crowns

Aftercare and Recovery:

Recovery is usually quick and easy. Some patients may experience mild tenderness or swelling for a day or two, which can be managed with over-the-counter medication and a soft-food diet. Good oral hygiene and regular checkups will help maintain your results for years to come.
