Smile Evaluation
Your periodontist evaluates your gumline, your tooth proportions, and the overall balance of your smile as a whole before recommending any reshaping.
Reshape the Frame Around Your Teeth to Feel More Confident Showing Your 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.
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.
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.
Here is what you can expect during gum contouring at OC Perio & Implants.

I met with Dr. Setya today. My first visit. Dr. Setya is a marvel - professional, extremely knowledgeable, with impeccable bedside manners. The examination was very thorough. He explained every detail every step of the way in a manner that could be easily understood. I feel very confident being in his care. And the office staff - they are a true reflection of and extension of a superb dentist. A very impressive team. I highly recommend Dr. Setya and his team.
Always a positive experience. Kind, considerate and thorough care each and every time.
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!!
I can't recommend Dr.Reshad enough! The entire team is professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to patient needs. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, and you can tell that they truly care about their patients' comfort and well-being. Dr.Reshad is exceptional—skilled, gentle, and takes the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I felt confident and informed. The clinic is modern and spotless, equipped with state-of-the-art technology.
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.
Just became part of their family! The Doctors and staff are wonderful! Looking forward to having work done by Dr. Reshad !
I met Dr. Setya for the first time and was very happy with the attention I received. Dr. Setya was friendly, professional and genuinely concerned with my oral health. I'd recommend him to anyone seeking top flight periodontal care.
Dr. Setya and the entire staff always make me feel welcome, cared for, and at ease. They are a wonderful group who provide excellent care.
Always a friendly office. Really appreciate the thorough cleaning I get. Taking care of my teeth is so important!
Excellent dental assistant and dr. and the dr. did not rush the consultation and he answered all my questions.
Thanks for a pleasurable experience at Dr. Setya's office. Robin is a thorough Hygenist. He explained the process to me every step of the way. Thanks for the great service. Also a huge thanks to all the office team for your courteous service!
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!!
It was my first visit for a consultation with Dr. Setya and I was really impressed. Dr. Setya was very informative and compassionate, He took his time and went over everything. The staff at his office focus on the patient experience, from the front desk Eden, and Omar his dental assistance were all helpful. I felt well cared for and my needs were addressed. Would highly recommend this office.
A visit to offices of Dr Setya means a super clean and upbeat environment with delightful people. Cleaning of my teeth has never been so thorough. Each dental hygienist and technician is highly educated and caring. As delighted a dental experience can be in OC.
As usual, my visit with Dr Setya met more than my expectations. He not only is he excellent at what he does- he is also very personable.. I truly appreciate him as a periodontist and a truly kind person.
Robin was very good with my gums..... This was my second visit with him. I'm very happy with the service.
I receive excellent care from Dr. Setya and his assistant Elle whilst having a tissue graft.
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...
