Give your smile a little lift.
Gum Laser Surgery
Gum laser surgery is an alternative way to enhance your smile without making a change to your teeth. For those with a gummy smile, laser surgery can lengthen the smile and even out the gum line. All with minimum discomfort.
What is gum laser surgery?
Gum Laser Surgery (also known as gum contouring or laser re-shaping) is generally a cosmetic procedure to recontour uneven gum lines or “gummy” smiles. Occasionally, patients can have an excess of gum growth over a tooth which makes the tooth appear smaller. Gum laser surgery is the removal of the excess gum to expose more the of tooth. It can also be used to even out the gum line.
At Vogue Dental Studios, we ensure all appropriate measurements are taken for premium results. By using the latest laser technology, there is little to no bleeding, faster healing, reduced risk of infection and minimal discomfort.

What To Expect
For all cosmetic procedures, we always start with a consultation. We will discuss your suitability for gum laser surgery and what option best suit your needs and circumstances. If you are suitable for gum laser surgery and choose to proceed, the surgery can be performed in the same appointment or at a later time.
After 1 month, we will review once again as your gums will have healed. If additional gum laser surgery is required it will be performed in this review appointment.
Cosmetic Consultations
A comprehensive cosmetic consultation with Dr Dee includes a thorough examination and smile analysis. During your appointment, we will run through your treatment objectives and review any concerns and your desired outcomes.
Consultations with Dr Dee are $120 pre-paid; however, this is redeemable towards any treatment you choose to go ahead with. Please plan your time accordingly as the consultation appointment is approximately 60 minutes in duration.
Pricing
The cost of gum laser surgery does vary for every individual, depending on the extent of work that will need to be completed. Gum laser surgery alone typically cost between $80-$150 per tooth.
Please note: if you are proceeding with a smile makeover with veneers, crowns and/or Invisalign or ortho treatment at Vogue Dental Studios, gum laser surgery will be provided complimentary, as a part of your treatment, as required.
