Gum Recontouring

Serving Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe and Scottsdale, Arizona

Gum recontouring can bring out the beauty in your smile that you didn’t even know was there. A flawed gum line, or gummy smile, can give the impression of dental flaws, even with perfect teeth. Dr. LeSueur and Dr. Dodaro can recontour your gums, revealing the natural beauty of your teeth and smile.

Your gums have a dramatic impact on the look of your smile

You may be mistaking gum problems for problems with your teeth. Gum recontouring can correct:

• Excessive gum tissue
• Red or puffy gums
• Uneven gum line

Problem such as these can make your teeth appear:

• Crooked
• Too short
• Uneven
• Unhealthy

If you have any these problems, you may not need work on your teeth at all. Gum recontouring may be all that you need for a beautiful, healthy smile.

Comfortable and safe

Our dentists use a soft tissue laser for gum recontouring. This is very different from gum recontouring surgery with a scalpel. Old methods cut away gum tissue, leaving an open wound which was painful, slow to heal, involved significant swelling, and carried a high risk of infection.

The soft tissue laser is much more precise and seals the incision as it goes. Benefits include:

• Reduced discomfort
• Reduced healing time
• Far less swelling
• Greatly lowered risk of infection
• More accurate results

Bringing it all together

Gum recontouring can be performed as a stand alone treatment or in combination with other procedures, such as tooth whitening, to bring out the natural beauty of your smile.

When gum recontouring is not enough, Dr. LeSueur or Dr. Dodaro can use the hard tissue laser to reshape teeth as well.
