Laser gum sculpting is an advanced, minimally invasive dental procedure designed to reshape and redefine the gum line using precision laser technology. It is commonly recommended for individuals who feel their teeth appear small due to excess gum tissue or have an uneven gum line affecting their smile aesthetics.
At Dr. Vinisha Pandey Dentistry & Aesthetic Clinic, Kanpur, laser-assisted gum contouring is performed with modern dental lasers to ensure accuracy, safety, and patient comfort.
Laser gum sculpting (also called gum contouring or gingival reshaping) is a cosmetic dental procedure that gently removes excess gum tissue to create a more balanced and proportionate smile.
It is often chosen for:
• Gummy smile correction
• Uneven gum line adjustment
• Smile enhancement procedures
• Improving tooth-to-gum proportions
The treatment is typically completed in a single visit and usually takes 60–90 minutes depending on the case.
The ideal gum line is carefully mapped after clinical evaluation. Local anesthesia is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
A specialized soft tissue dental laser is used to remove excess gum tissue with controlled precision. The laser allows accurate contouring without affecting surrounding healthy tissue.
As the laser reshapes the gums, it simultaneously seals small blood vessels. This reduces bleeding and generally eliminates the need for sutures.
Minimally Invasive Procedure: Laser technology reduces tissue trauma compared to traditional surgical methods.
Improved Smile Aesthetics: Enhances tooth visibility and creates a more proportionate smile.
Faster Healing: Most patients resume normal routine within 24 hours. Initial healing typically occurs within 7–10 days.
Reduced Discomfort: Patients generally report mild soreness rather than significant pain.
Better Oral Hygiene: Removing excess gum tissue may help reduce areas where bacteria can accumulate.
A proper dental evaluation is required to determine suitability. Laser gum sculpting may be suitable for individuals who:
• Mild sensitivity may be experienced for a short duration
• Soft diet may be advised for a few days
• Maintaining oral hygiene is essential
• Follow-up visits may be scheduled if needed
When performed by a trained dental professional using approved laser systems, the procedure is considered safe. Strict sterilization and clinical protocols are followed to maintain hygiene and patient safety.
