Enjoy a broader, more symmetrical smile.Over the years, many patients have come to us with concerns about their smile being too “gummy” – meaning that there is an excessive amount of gum tissue covering the teeth. While this situation usually doesn’t negatively affect oral health, it can be a strong aesthetic concern for patients. We want you to be able to feel truly confident when you smile – that’s why Dr. Laurie T. Hanschu offers laser tissue recontouring at her Carmichael, CA office. During this procedure, we use a soft-tissue laser to gently and precisely remove excessive gum tissue from your mouth while also sealing remaining tissue in place. This creates a smile that looks much more even and harmonious than ever before.
