“I love my teeth and my smile. The work was done very softly and pleasant, and Dr. Gross and his team really cared and even worked on “odd” hours as I was a bit pushed for time leaving USA for Europe. Thank you Dr. Gross – Thank you Renee and the rest of the team – You are great!”

Questions About Gum Contouring
Boca Raton, Florida
What is Gum Contouring?
Sometimes, a full smile includes too much gum and not enough white teeth. Gum contouring can improve uneven or excess gums for a more beautiful smile. The shape and alignment of your teeth and the relationship of your teeth to your gum tissue is what creates the look of your smile. A smile that shows too much gum can be a source of embarrassment, but fortunately can be easily corrected with laser surgery.
How is gum contouring done?
A soft tissue laser reconstructs your gums quickly. The laser vaporizes and seals the extra gum tissue with no cutting, bleeding or sutures and less chance of infection for healthy, natural looking gums and a brand new smile. You can resume your normal activities immediately afterwards.
Will the procedure be done at the office?
Yes. The SmilePerfect team has all the amenities to ensure you have a relaxed and pleasant visit while receiving gum contouring. Appointments are scheduled one at a time, so you never have to wait in a crowded reception area. During the procedure, we can provide headphone for your listening pleasure. In addition, goggles for watching videos, and video screens on the ceiling are available to ensure a welcome refuge from your daily stressors. If you simply want to relax, we have pillows, cooling eye masks, and paraffin hand treatments to make your visit with us an enjoyable experience.
Will the procedure have to be redone in the future?
Most gum contouring procedures involve only one visit to the dental office. Gum contouring is permanent and there should be no reason to need this type of laser surgery in the future.
Does my dental insurance cover the cost of gum contouring?
Insurance companies do not dictate what we can and cannot do for our patients. Therefore, procedure costs vary. To assist with budgeting for your procedure, we offer a variety of financing and payment options.
