Tissue Recontouring
Tissue recontouring, also known as gum reshaping, is a gentle cosmetic dental procedure designed to improve the balance and harmony of your smile. It’s ideal for patients with uneven or excessive gum tissue—commonly referred to as a “gummy smile.” Using advanced laser technology, this treatment precisely sculpts the gum line to reveal more of your natural teeth, creating a beautifully proportioned and symmetrical appearance.
The procedure is quick, virtually painless, and typically completed in just one visit. At The Green Dental Studio, our dentists in Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, FL, perform this treatment with precision and artistry to help you achieve a natural, confident smile.
Advantages of Tissue Recontouring
-
Comfortable and minimally invasive: The laser technique eliminates the need for scalpels or sutures, meaning no cuts and minimal sensitivity.
-
Fast healing: Since it’s a laser-based procedure, healing is rapid, with most patients resuming their normal activities immediately.
-
Immediate cosmetic improvement: You can often see a noticeable enhancement in your smile the very next day.
-
Improves symmetry and proportions: Correcting uneven gum lines helps teeth appear longer and more uniform, enhancing your overall facial aesthetics.
