A gummy smile occurs when excess gum tissue shows above the teeth, making your teeth appear short or uneven. Our gummy smile treatment—also known as laser gum contouring or gum reshaping—is designed to create a more balanced, confident smile by carefully sculpting the gum line.
At our practice, we use the advanced Solea® laser, a leading dental laser technology that is unique to our area. This allows us to perform precise gum contouring procedures with minimal discomfort, often without the need for anesthesia, drills, or stitches.
What Causes a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile can be caused by:
- Excess gum tissue covering the teeth
- Uneven gum line
- Small or partially erupted teeth
- Hyperactive upper lip movement
Our experienced periodontal team will evaluate your smile and recommend the best cosmetic gum treatment for your needs.
Benefits of Solea Laser Gummy Smile Treatment
Using the Solea laser for gum reshaping provides several advantages over traditional methods:
- Minimally invasive (no scalpels or sutures)
- Little to no bleeding
- Reduced discomfort during and after treatment
- Faster healing and recovery time
- Immediate cosmetic improvement
What to Expect During Treatment
Your laser gummy smile procedure is quick and comfortable. The Solea laser gently removes excess gum tissue and reshapes your gum line with extreme precision. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, making this an ideal solution for busy individuals seeking cosmetic dentistry results with minimal downtime.
