A Balanced Frame for a Confident Smile
When excess or uneven gum tissue hides your teeth, the whole smile can look out of balance. Gum contouring at Tropical Smiles Dental uses a soft-tissue laser to precisely sculpt the gumline, revealing more of the tooth surface and creating symmetry — usually in a single comfortable visit.
Dr. Nitta plans each case around your facial proportions and smile line, so the outcome looks like it was always yours. If you are pairing gumline changes with veneers or whitening, contouring can be sequenced into a smile makeover plan for a fully designed result.
- Softens a "gummy" smile by evening the gumline
- Laser precision for smooth edges and comfortable healing
- Usually completed in one visit with minimal downtime
- Results designed around your facial symmetry
