Feel Confident About Your Smile

If three or four millimeters of gumline show when you smile, your smile may be considered "gummy." Excess gum tissue doesn't bother everyone. But if it makes you uncomfortable, you can do something about it. Our procedure can:

Allow you to show more of your beautiful teeth instead of your gums
Create the space for veneers or crowns by revealing more tooth enamel
Reduce your risk of periodontal disease with properly contoured gums
Make it easier for you to maintain better oral care habits

Your periodontist will explore whether gum reshaping is right for you. They'll discuss your goals to ensure this treatment addresses your specific concerns.

Benefit From Laser Technology

We use state-of-the-art laser technology to gently reshape your gumline. This modern approach eliminates the need for incisions, stitches, or special care during recovery.

Your periodontist carefully removes excess tissue with the laser. We will preserve the healthy structure of your gums. The procedure is quick, comfortable, and delivers immediate results you can see.

With the laser technology, you'll heal much quicker. Plus, it's less invasive and more comfortable. We will use local anesthetic to ensure comfort. Sedation with laughing gas is also available if you feel nervous.

Let's get started on your new look! Schedule a consultation for gummy smile treatment in Aldie.

Gladys M.

I have been coming to Elan Dental and seeing Dr. Kwon for almost 3 years now. Like many people, I have an intense fear of the dentist thanks to dental trauma as a kid. Dr. Kwon is the gentlest, most efficient, and a competent dentist! During the three years, I have experienced numerous treatments (Invisalign, cleanings, filling replacements, and crowns). I have found her entire staff to be extremely knowledgeable and kind as well! From reception, to dental techs, to hygienists….they are all patient centered.

Julie B.

I recently visited Elan Dental clinic for a routine checkup and cleaning. I couldn't be more pleased with the friendly environment of the office staff. In particularly my hygienist, Yen Ly. She is a gem! Yen is very thorough in her cleaning methods. From massaging jaws, scaling teeth, cleaning, polishing to scanning teeth with proper procedures and attention. As for Dr. Kwon, she is a top notch dentist. I appreciated their professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the appointment.

How do I know if I have a gummy smile?

You likely have a gummy smile if three or four millimeters of gumline shows when you smile. Many patients notice this when looking at photos or when friends and family comment on their smile. You might feel self-conscious about showing your teeth or find yourself covering your mouth when laughing in social situations. Your dentist can evaluate your smile during a consultation to determine if gummy smile treatment would benefit you.

What happens during a gummy smile treatment procedure?

We use advanced laser technology to gently reshape your gumline with precision and care. Your periodontist will carefully remove excess gum tissue while preserving the healthy structure underneath. We'll make sure you're comfortable with local anesthetic, and sedation options are available if you feel anxious. The procedure is typically quick, and you'll see immediate improvements in your smile's appearance right after treatment.

Is gummy smile treatment painful?

Most patients find the procedure surprisingly comfortable thanks to our use of local anesthetic and modern laser technology. The laser approach eliminates the need for traditional cutting and suturing, which significantly reduces discomfort during and after treatment. You may experience some mild tenderness for a day or two following the procedure, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Many patients return to their normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.
