Gum Contouring in Mission Viejo, CA

Reshape the Frame Around Your Teeth to Feel More Confident Showing Your Smile

A More Balanced Gumline. More Reasons to Smile.

Ever feel like your smile shows too much gum tissue or that your gum line appears uneven? You’re not alone. Think of gum contouring as artistically reshaping the frame around your teeth to create the perfect balance for your smile. Dr. Reshad, Dr. Setya, and Dr. Bergman at OC Perio and Implants Dental Group combine artistic vision with advanced laser technology to help you achieve the harmonious smile you’ve always wanted.

What is Gum Contouring

Understanding Gum Contouring

Just like a skilled artist carefully shapes clay, modern gum contouring uses gentle laser technology to reshape your gumline with incredible precision. Whether the concern is a gummy smile or uneven gum heights, we can help create the ideal frame for your teeth. Using advanced laser techniques, we can reshape the tissue comfortably without any traditional cutting or stitches. The result is a beautifully balanced smile that looks completely natural rather than obviously worked upon. Our doctors combine artistic vision with advanced laser technology on every case.

The benefits of Gum Contouring

Signs You May Benefit from Gum Contouring

  • Gummy Smile — Your smile shows more gum tissue than you would like, which makes you self-conscious whenever a photograph is taken or whenever you laugh openly at anyone.

  • Uneven Heights — Your gumline is noticeably uneven, so some teeth appear longer or shorter than the ones beside them and throw the balance out of your whole smile line.

  • Hidden Structure — Excess gum tissue is covering tooth structure that would improve the proportions of your whole smile and its overall proportions if it were revealed properly.

  • Cosmetic Goal — You want the frame around your teeth improved as part of a broader plan for your smile's appearance and its long-term health as well over the years to come.

Your Journey With Us

Our Step-by-Step Process

Here is what you can expect during gum contouring at OC Perio & Implants.

Schedule a Consultation
Step One

Smile Evaluation

Your periodontist evaluates your gumline, your tooth proportions, and the overall balance of your smile as a whole before recommending any reshaping.

Step Two

Design Mapping

We map exactly how much tissue will be reshaped so you understand the result well before treatment ever begins and can picture it clearly first.

Step Three

Comfortable Numbing

The area is numbed thoroughly, and most patients find laser contouring far gentler than they had been expecting once the treatment actually gets going.

Step Four

Laser Reshaping

Gentle laser technology reshapes the gumline with incredible precision, without any cutting or stitching required at any stage of the appointment.

Step Five

Healing Guidance

We review the healing timeline and the aftercare that will protect your newly contoured gumline going forward without further recession setting in.

I've had some good hygienists over the years, but no one compares to Daniella. She is so thorough, kind, and sincere. My mouth feels WONDERFUL after I leave her office. Thank you Daniella and feel lucky to have met you. My only regret is I wish I had done so years back!!

Dr Setya and Dr Reshad were both so knowledgeable and patient in answering all the questions I had. I never felt hurried or rushed, even though my appointment was the last of the day. I came into the office nervous about the state of my perio/dental health, and the drive home was as if I had just spent time with friends. Calm, supportive, and professional. There is no other office to work with for your perio health.

I had a very positive experience during my first visit with Dr Setya and his staff. I have a long history of gum disease and after two failed gum grafts (with a different periodontist) I feel hopeful that Dr Setya will be able to "save" my teeth. I received the most comprehensive oral examination of my life.

I have a deep, deep mental fear of going to or even sitting in that dentist chair. Dr Setya and all who work with him are aware of my anxiety and treat me with respect and understanding. That is why I gave them only 4 stars, because I can't give going to the dentist 5 stars, even though they deserve it.

I met Dr. Seyta for the first time this week. His assistant Araceli is just magnificent! I never knew that the tightness in my lower lip and gum thinning could be repaired with a frenectomy and some bone grafting. Pleasure to meet you and begin restoring some much needed areas. Thank you!!

Dr. Bergman along with Danny and Robin are so good at their jobs: insanely thorough and very competent. Several teeth implants and periodontal appointments with the trio pros always ended up with smiles and a feeling of "I'm glad I had it done". Smile is so important as one gets older. Got so many compliments on my white and healthy teeth. Thanks...
