Non-Surgical Gum Treatments

The frame created by your gum tissue is as important to the look of your teeth as a quality frame is to an artist’s painting. Contouring is basically a simple gum lift, but makes a tremendous difference to one’s smile. Dr. Coleman uses a diode laser and a topical anesthetic to quickly reshape the gum line, creating an even more beautiful smile!

Teeth sometimes appear to be to short but actually just have excess gum tissue, giving you a “gummy” smile. An uneven gum line can give the illusion that your teeth are crooked. Both excess tissue and an uneven gum line can make your teeth look unhealthy and make you look older than you really are.

Dr. Coleman does not do the older kind of surgical gum recontouring, using a scalpel. It’s painful, causes swelling and bleeding, and carries a high risk of infection.

Instead, he uses a diode laser for non-surgical gum treatment, reshaping your gums safely, more accurately, and with a short and easy recovery.
