At Foothill Smiles, our laser “gummy smile” treatment is designed to provide a comfortable and efficient experience. The process begins with a thorough consultation where our dentist evaluates your smile and discusses your goals to determine if laser treatment is appropriate for you. Once we establish the right approach, digital imaging, and expert analysis are used to create a tailored plan that enhances your natural teeth and complements your facial features. The next step involves laser contouring, where excess gum tissue is gently removed using advanced laser technology, reshaping the gums to reveal more of your teeth and achieve a balanced smile.

In most cases, the patients experience minimal discomfort following the procedure and are able to resume their regular routines the same day. It’s important to follow any aftercare instructions provided by your dentist, which include practicing gentle oral hygiene and avoiding hot, spicy, or acidic foods for a few days to prevent irritation. Keeping regular follow-up appointments with your dentist is crucial in order to monitor your healing and ensure optimal results so that your newly contoured gums can remain beautiful.
