COSMETIC GUM RECOUNTOURING

A “gummy smile” is a common cosmetic dental problem which can mar the appearance of an otherwise beautiful smile. This condition occurs when you have excessive gum tissue on one or more teeth, causing your teeth to look too small or uneven.

There are several factors which may contribute to the development of a gummy smile, including:

• The way your teeth formed in your gum line
• Having a flexible upper lip which exposes more of your gum line
• The development of your upper jawbone

Having the proper amount of gum tissue on your teeth and an even gum line is an important component to a beautiful smile. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth due to a gummy smile, Dr. Chapnick can correct the condition using gum recontouring. This procedure is safe, effective, and can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile.

Dr. Chapnick uses the Biolase soft tissue laser for all of his gum recontouring procedures. This laser technology allows him to achieve far superior results than can be accomplished using a scalpel. Benefits of laser gum recontouring include:
