What is gum contouring?

Have you ever felt like your teeth are too short? Or that you have a "gummy" smile? Do these issues cause you to feel self-conscious about the appearance of your smile?

Gum contouring may be the solution you need to enhance your smile.

Gum contouring is a procedure that uses a dental laser to eliminate the excess gum tissue that's covering your teeth and hiding your smile.

During gum contouring treatment, the laser combines heat and light into a precise point that removes the excess tissue and shapes it appealingly around your tooth. With the laser, there's no need for cutting during your procedure, which accelerates healing time.

We can typically complete gum contouring during a straightforward procedure at our North York dental office. Depending on how much tissue we remove, your healing time can be a few days to a couple weeks. You'll need to stick to soft foods for the first few days and be careful and gentle during oral hygiene for the first week or two.
