Cosmetic Gum Reshaping
This treatment involves re-contouring and shaping, the gum tissue that surrounds one or more teeth. It may be performed for functional or aesthetic reasons. Laser gum contouring is used to enhance the patient's smile. For example, the procedure may be used to improve the appearance of "gummy" smile where the teeth appear too short. The teeth may actually be the proper length, but too much gum covers them. Also, in some cases, the gum line is uneven, which can make the teeth appear irregular. Using a laser, Dr. Sandras can easily and predictably reshape the gum tissue to create a more even and balanced look.
