Why Soft Tissue Contouring?
Not only can our laser gum recontouring treatment at Dr. Teeth correct a gummy smile or receding gum line, but your Katy dentist can also correct asymmetrical gum lines. An asymmetrical gum line typically results in the gums looking higher and lower depending upon the tooth, resulting in teeth that look uneven.
In just one appointment, using a topical anesthetic and a state-of-the-art laser, we can contour your gum line and give you a more appealing looking smile.
Benefits of Laser Gum Contouring & Laser Dentistry
Unlike other methods, laser gum contouring is a pain-free treatment option with limited discomfort and healing time. Due to the laser technology, your gums are sealed on contact, requiring no stitching and resulting in no bleeding. The results of laser gum contouring are visible immediately following the procedure.
