Gum Recontouring in Gaithersburg, MD
At Schneider Family Dentistry, gum recontouring (also called gum reshaping) creates a more attractive smile by adjusting your gum line. Our precise laser gum recontouring in Gaithersburg, MD provides beautiful, natural-looking results with minimal discomfort and fast healing.
What is Gum Recontouring?
Gum recontouring is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the gum line to improve your smile's appearance. Dr. Adam Schneider, Dr. Katie Staub, or Dr. Thomas Tran uses advanced laser technology to carefully remove excess gum tissue or reshape uneven gums, creating a more balanced, attractive smile. The laser provides precise control and promotes faster healing than traditional methods.
Who Benefits from Gum Recontouring?
Gum recontouring is ideal if you have a "gummy smile" (excessive gum tissue showing), uneven gum line, teeth that appear too short due to excess gum coverage, or asymmetrical gums. This procedure can dramatically improve your smile's aesthetics and boost your confidence.

The Recontouring Process
During your consultation, we'll evaluate your gums and discuss your aesthetic goals. We'll show you what your new smile could look like and create a treatment plan. The procedure itself is typically completed in one appointment. We'll numb the area for comfort, then use a dental laser to carefully remove excess tissue or reshape your gum line. The laser seals the tissue as it works, minimizing bleeding and promoting healing.
