Excessive gum tissue can leave you with a smile that shows more red than white. This embarrassing condition may encourage you to hide your smile, making social and business interactions uncomfortable, and leaving you longing for a solution. A "gummy smile" is also associated with pre-teens and teenagers thus may give an adult an overly "immature" look when smiling. Experienced Laguna Niguel cosmetic dentist, Dr. Huefner has been helping patients with excessive gum tissue perfect their smiles for over 25 years.

The vast majority of time we can utilize the benefits of the Diode Dental Gum Laser to remove excess gum tissue and sculpt or reshape the gums into an even, well balanced shape. Many times this can be done without the need to use local anesthesia. No cutting of the gums, stitches or prescription pain medications necessary when doing laser gums reshaping. Essentially, the laser "dissolves" the excess gum tissue and complete healing within less than a week.

Dr. Huefner will thoroughly examine your gums and work closely with you to ensure that the procedure most suited to your needs is chosen. He will also discuss with you any additional cosmetic procedures that may be necessary for you to reach your ultimate goal of the perfect smile.
