Laser Gum Recontouring

Do your gums make your teeth look too short? Excessive or uneven gum tissue can hide a full, beautiful smile. Dr. Singer corrects “gummy” smiles with non-invasive gum recontouring. He uses a soft-tissue laser to gently, precisely, and comfortably remove excess gum tissue and sculpt the gum line. Revealing a larger tooth surface creates a bigger, more attractive smile.

By using a laser instead of a scalpel, Dr. Singer eliminates the need for anesthesia, in most cases. Additionally, you likely won’t need stitches following laser surgery. The precision of the laser lets Dr. Singer remove only the excess gum tissue without impacting surrounding tissue. Procedure time is fast, and you’ll heal quicker than you would following traditional gum surgery.
