Gum reshaping or re-contouring—there are a variety of ways it’s referred to—crosses many thresholds. In the cosmetic zone, it’s a fantastic asset to have an instrument that allows you to contour the gums in an aesthetically pleasing way. I’ve got a CO2 laser, which is fantastic. It’s, in my opinion, the best way to contour gums in a very short amount of time and sometimes without anesthesia. It’s quick, effective, and gorgeous.
It’s also really effective in the back teeth areas where food might be getting stuck or where you have somewhere that just hurts or bleeds a lot when you floss. The CO2 laser is able to get in and shape the gums so that you don’t have food traps, plaque traps, and those kinds of things. So it has a practical function as well as an aesthetic one.
Improve Your Smile With Better-Looking Gums
Let’s face it. Our smiles are one of the first things other people notice about us and judge us on. If you have a “gummy smile,” meaning too much of your gums show when you smile, reshaping your gums is a straightforward way to address the problem. No longer will you have to feel embarrassed to show others a full, genuine smile or try to hide your smile behind your hands. Dr. Wendelschafer will use a special CO2 laser designed just for this type of procedure. He will:
- Examine your teeth and gums to make sure you’re a good candidate for gum reshaping
- Plan the steps he’ll take to make your gums more attractive
- Gently remove excess gum tissue using the laser
- Give your teeth and gums a final once-over to make sure everything looks perfect so you’re completely satisfied
Although laser gum reshaping is a painless procedure , we can use a local anesthetic to numb your gums if desired. We want to make sure you’re completely at ease before we begin working.

To make your gums appear more uniform and appealing, Dr. Wendelschafer will use a special laser designed for dental care. The laser will quickly and safely sculpt your gumline, removing excess gum tissue where necessary, so that your overall smile appears natural, healthy, and beautiful. In most cases, only a single appointment is needed to complete this work.
Using a gentle CO2 laser, we can reshape the gums while helping keep treatment comfortable and minimizing bleeding and recovery time. When compared to traditional gum reshaping, laser treatment can quickly and comfortably shape your gums and give you a more beautiful smile. It won’t require any scalpels or stitches, and you’ll be able to enjoy your favorite foods soon after treatment.
A “gummy smile” is when too much of your gums show when you smile; your gums take the spotlight instead of your beautiful white teeth. Gummy smile treatment balances out your teeth-to-gum ratio by using a special laser to remove excess gum tissue. You can enjoy a more balanced, attractive smile after just one appointment in many cases..
