Laser Gum Recontouring, Sanford, FL

When it comes to a great smile, having white teeth is not the only factor to consider. Well-shaped, healthy-looking gums help showcase the teeth and improve the appearance of the smile. Swollen, excessive and uneven gums can seriously compromise the overall appearance of the teeth. Laser gum recontouring is a procedure that can correct gum problems and improve oral health and smiles.

What is Laser Gum Recontouring?

During the laser gum recontouring process, a dentist uses a diode laser to sculpt and shape the gum tissue. First, the patient will receive a local anesthetic to numb the gums and eliminate any possible pain. Next, the dentist will use the laser to gently reshape the gum line, correct asymmetrical gums and remove any excessive gum tissue.
