Gum contouring, which involves removing a small amount of gum tissue that covers a tooth or teeth, can be used in a number of ways in the dental office. It may be part of a gingivectomy for periodontal treatment or be a preparatory step for restorative care, but often, it is a cosmetic treatment for patients worried about the aesthetic effects of a “gummy smile”. At Durango Laser Dentistry, Dr. Mason Miner and our team offer gum contouring in Durango, Colorado, using cutting-edge laser technology.
