What Our Clients Say
Laser gum plastic surgery, often called gum contouring or a “gum lift,” is a cosmetic procedure used to reshape an uneven or excessive gum line. Using a specialized dental laser, we gently remove excess gum tissue that makes teeth look short or “boxy.” This creates a more balanced, symmetrical appearance that is a key element of a celebrity-caliber smile.
In the past, gum surgery required scalpels and stitches. Today, our advanced laser technology cauterizes the tissue as it shapes it. This means there is almost no bleeding, a significantly reduced risk of infection, and a much faster healing time. The laser is so precise that we can sculpt the gum line with incredible accuracy for a perfect result.
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. We use a local anesthetic to ensure you are completely numb. Because the laser is minimally invasive and doesn’t involve cutting or sewing, the post-operative discomfort is very low. Most patients describe it as a minor “tightness” that fades within a day.
When performed correctly by an experienced dentist like Dr. Irena Starchenko, the results of gum contouring are typically permanent. Once the excess tissue is reshaped and the underlying health of the gums is maintained, the new gum line will remain stable, giving you a beautiful smile for a lifetime.
Achieving a natural-looking gum line requires both clinical skill and an artistic eye. With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Starchenko understands the ideal proportions of a beautiful smile. Our Encino office combines this expertise with the latest laser technology to provide a safe, fast, and transformative experience in a comfortable setting.
