When arriving for your gum recontouring procedure, you can expect it to be quick, easy, painless, and require very little recovery time. To begin, Dr. Asay will administer local anesthesia to make sure you are comfortable and at ease throughout the procedure. Next, using a soft tissue laser, which is a small, handheld device, he will remove the extra gum tissue while sculpting and reshaping your gum line. The laser will immediately cauterize the area, resulting in less bleeding.

Once he is finished, you will have no sutures covering your beautiful new smile. You can expect some minor soreness in the days after your procedure, so it will be important that you take the necessary steps to heal properly:
