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.

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.
