Cosmetic Tissue Recontouring
POPULAR INFORMATION
Gingival sculpting is most commonly performed by periodontists and cosmeticdentists. The minor in-office gum contouring procedure typically requires only one visit of about an hour. After a local anesthetic is applied to the gums, a soft tissuelaser is used to trim away, re-contour and seal the excess gum tissue.
