How is laser contouring different from traditional gum surgery?
Laser-assisted reshaping can be less invasive than traditional gum reshaping in suitable cases. Your dentist confirms whether laser treatment fits your gums.
Can it fix teeth that look too short?
When teeth look short because of excess gum tissue, contouring can show more of each tooth for better proportions.
