Gum Recontouring

If you have an uneven gum line that needs a “lift” or are looking for effective treatments for a gummy smile, gum recontouring at Leah Zils, DDS, can be an excellent solution for many new and returning patients. This cosmetic procedure uses laser devices to remove gum tissue from the teeth to lengthen their appearance and provide more balance and harmony to the smile!

What Is Gum Tissue Laser Recontouring?

For patients with imperfect gumlines that are impacting the smile’s appearance, specifically those seeking treatment for gummy smiles, gum tissue laser recontouring is a wonderful and readily available solution at Leah Zils, DDS.

Gum tissue laser recontouring, also referred to by our team as gum reshaping or “gum contouring,” is a minimally invasive cosmetic dental procedure involving lasers that remove excess gum tissue and reshape the gum line. This can help create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance to the gums, ultimately enhancing the smile’s overall aesthetic.

The procedure usually takes only a single appointment and involves little to no discomfort for the patient. The laser device used in gum recontouring is highly precise and allows for more accurate removal of gum tissue, resulting in a more natural-looking gumline.

What Can I Expect Following My Laser Gum Recontouring Appointment?

After the procedure, patients may experience some mild swelling or discomfort, but this can easily be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. It is important to avoid hard or crunchy foods for a few days following the procedure, as the gums may be more sensitive during this time. It is critical that patients maintain good oral hygiene habits and follow any specific aftercare instructions provided. In short, this treatment is often fast and requires minimal downtime and recovery for those seeking a solution to their gummy smile!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All the staff were wonderful!  Of course I was scared since it was my first visit but they made me feel comfortable and were able to explain everything in words I could understand.  They were very gentle and I have no problem returning for my next visit.  Highly recommend!  Easy parking too!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The post is for Dr. Cagle, not Zils. I no longer use this practice.

Meticulous is the best adjective to describe Dr. Cagle.  Shirley enjoys her craft, and you will leave the office with a new appreciation for that craft.

The entire staff is friendly, caring, and experienced. Debbie greets you with a warm smile when you enter the building.

Many thanks to the entire team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently visited Dr. Leah Zils for a routine cleaning and some repair work, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The cleaning was incredibly thorough, yet gentle—my teeth felt noticeably cleaner without any discomfort. Dr. Zils also took care of a couple of problem areas I had been putting off, and the repairs were smooth, efficient, and virtually painless. She explained everything clearly, made sure I was comfortable the entire time, and was genuinely attentive to my concerns. The office staff was welcoming, and the whole environment felt professional and calming. It’s rare to actually feel relaxed at the dentist, but Dr. Zils makes it possible. Highly recommend her for both preventative and restorative care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so impressed with Dr. Zil’s and her staff. Everyone from the front desk to the dentist, hygienist and assistant was professional, friendly, and genuinely personable. They run on time, but don’t make you feel rushed. They took their time to explain everything well and the assistant worked alongside the dentist like a perfectly synced team. The whole experience was efficient, yet relaxed, and I left feeling really well taken care of. Highly recommend!
