Laser Gum Reshaping · Manhattan
Balance your smile from the gumline up.
A beautiful smile depends as much on the gum architecture as on the teeth themselves. Dr. Lazare uses precision dental laser technology to reshape uneven or excessive gum tissue — creating a more balanced, symmetrical gumline with no scalpel, minimal discomfort, and a faster recovery than conventional gum surgery.
No scalpel, faster healing
Precision dental laser — no cuts, no sutures, minimal discomfort, rapid recovery.

Transform Your Smile with Expert Gum Contouring in NYC
Serving Midtown East, the Upper East Side, and surrounding Manhattan neighborhoods, Dr. Marc Lazare, D.D.S., M.A.G.D., and Dr. Terese Fay offer advanced laser gum contouring procedures to correct gummy smiles and uneven gum lines.
We utilize advanced laser dentistry and laser dentistry techniques for soft tissue procedures, providing minimally invasive treatments that precisely target soft tissue for optimal results and improved patient comfort.
A gummy smile occurs when excess gum tissue shows more prominently than the teeth. This can make teeth look shorter and affect the balance of your smile. Our laser gum reshaping treatment, a form of laser gum treatment, gently removes excess gum tissue, sculpts a symmetrical gum line, and reveals more of your natural teeth—creating a brighter, more proportionate, and beautiful smile.

Understanding Gummy Smile Correction
There is no single scientific definition of a gummy smile—it is largely based on perception. However, most patients showing more than 2 mm of gum tissue above their teeth when smiling are considered to have a gummy smile.
Laser gum contouring (also called a gum lift, gum recontouring, or crown lengthening) is a laser assisted procedure that uses a precise diode laser gum technique to reshape the gum line and remove excessive gum tissue. This advanced technique utilizes laser therapy as a minimally invasive treatment, offering less discomfort and faster healing compared to traditional methods. For patients with more complex needs, laser periodontal surgery is another advanced option that can address both functional and aesthetic concerns. This treatment provides balance between your teeth, gums, and lips, helping you achieve a natural and harmonious appearance.
