If you have what some refer to as a "gummy smile" or an asymmetrical gum line, gingival re-contouring or sculpting is a simple procedure that could significantly improve the look of your smile. The procedure takes only minutes, and just a small amount of local anesthesia is applied as the gum tissue is artfully sculpted to the desired position. For this and many other procedures, Tysons Corner Advanced Dental Center uses a Waterlase Laser, resulting in minimal bleeding and only minor discomfort.
