The gums frame your teeth, and an uneven or excessive gum line can make an otherwise healthy smile look unbalanced. At our Carrollwood practice, Dr. Mustafa Adel uses laser gum contouring to reshape the gum line gently and precisely, creating a balanced frame that lets your teeth show at their best.
Some people have a gum line that sits low, making teeth appear short, or one that is uneven from tooth to tooth. Laser contouring carefully removes and reshapes excess gum tissue to reveal more of each tooth and create a harmonious, symmetrical line.
The laser is what makes the treatment so comfortable. It reshapes tissue precisely while sealing as it works, which means minimal bleeding, reduced discomfort and faster healing compared with traditional techniques. Many patients are surprised by how gentle the experience is.
Contouring is often part of a larger cosmetic plan. Balancing the gums before placing veneers, or refining the gum line as a finishing touch to a smile makeover, can make the difference between a good result and a beautiful one.
Precision is essential, and Dr. Adel plans each case carefully to ensure the result looks natural and respects the health of the gums and the underlying tooth. The goal is a refined frame, not an obvious change.
Healing is typically quick and straightforward, with simple aftercare instructions to keep the area comfortable as the tissue settles into its new shape.
