‍Gum Contouring in Staten Island: Reveal Your Perfect Smile

Do you feel your smile is overshadowed by excessive gum tissue? A "gummy smile" can make your teeth appear shorter than they actually are, creating an unbalanced look that may make you feel self-conscious. You deserve a smile where your teeth are the main event, not your gums.

At Sola Dental Spa, we offer a simple, elegant solution: laser gum contouring. This advanced cosmetic procedure, also known as a gum lift or gingivectomy, precisely reshapes your gum line to reveal more of your beautiful teeth. It’s a minimally invasive treatment that creates a more balanced, symmetrical, and confident smile—often in a single, comfortable visit.

Is Gum Contouring Right for You?

Gum contouring is a perfect solution for patients who are unhappy with the proportions of their smile. You are an ideal candidate if you experience:

• A "Gummy Smile": You feel that too much gum tissue shows when you smile.
• Short-Looking Teeth: Your teeth are of normal length but appear short because they are covered by excess gum tissue.
• An Uneven Gum Line: Your gum line is asymmetrical, making your teeth appear to be different sizes.

Dr. Gershkowitz will perform a thorough evaluation during your cosmetic consultation to determine if gum contouring is the right approach to help you achieve your smile goals, sometimes as a standalone treatment or in combination with porcelain veneers.

The Sola Dental Spa Gum Contouring Experience

We’ve refined the gum contouring process to be quick, comfortable, and completely anxiety-free, thanks to our advanced laser technology and spa-like amenities.

The Benefits of Laser Technology

Unlike traditional gum surgery that uses a scalpel, our state-of-the-art dental laser offers a superior experience:

• Painless & Precise: The laser allows Dr. Gershkowitz to remove excess gum tissue with pinpoint accuracy, instantly sealing the tissue as it goes. Most patients report feeling little to no discomfort.
• Minimal Bleeding: The laser cauterizes the tissue, resulting in minimal to no bleeding.
• Rapid Healing: With no stitches required, the healing process is remarkably fast. Most patients experience only mild sensitivity for a day or two and can resume their normal activities immediately.

Your Comfortable, One-Visit Transformation

The entire procedure is often completed in under an hour. You’ll relax in our sound-wave massage chairs while Dr. Gershkowitz expertly sculpts your new gum line. The results are immediate—you will leave our office with a brand new, beautifully proportioned smile.

Perfecting Your Smile: Gum Contouring & Porcelain Veneers

For a total smile makeover, a gum lift is often the perfect first step before placing porcelain veneers. By creating the ideal gum line symmetry before designing the veneers, Dr. Gershkowitz can ensure the final proportions of your smile are absolutely flawless. This combination allows for a truly stunning, harmonious result that looks both natural and spectacular.
