A gingivectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that removes and reshapes excessive gum tissue around the teeth.
At Hansen Orthodontics, we use a diode laser to gently contour the gums, providing unmatched accuracy while minimizing bleeding and recovery time. Unlike traditional methods that involve scalpels and sutures, laser gingivectomy cauterizes tissue instantly, promoting faster healing and precise aesthetic outcomes — especially for patients seeking flawless smile symmetry and microaesthetic balance.
Our laser gingivectomy process is safe, efficient, and performed in-office with local anesthesia.
We begin with a clinical evaluation and digital imaging to assess your gum tissue, tooth proportions, and overall smile symmetry.
