A concern we treat
Gummy or uneven gums
When the frame is off, not the teeth — reshape the gum line for balance.
In short
Sometimes the teeth are healthy and the right length, but too much gum shows or the gum margin is uneven, making teeth look short or mismatched. Gum recontouring with a soft-tissue laser reshapes the margin gently, often in a single visit.
It works beautifully on its own and as the finishing frame before veneers or bonding. At your assessment we check whether it is a simple tissue case or whether the bone level needs adjusting too.
