The dentist takes you through the gum contouring process by cutting through the gum to remove gum tissue that is not necessary. The process is not invasive, quick, and also pain-free. The unnecessary gum is removed so that you will achieve that healthy and attractive smile.

Gum contouring procedure


The dentist or the dental surgeon uses a laser to contour the gums so that your teeth are more prominent to give a healthy and attractive smile. The process reveals your teeth that are hidden by the unnecessary gum tissue. The dental surgeon administers anesthesia so that the process is not painful and less invasive. The laser cauterizes and also trims sealing lacerations to reduce bleeding and chances of infections.
