A balanced smile is about more than just your teeth—it’s about the perfect harmony between your lips, teeth, and gums. At Mission Implant Center, we believe everyone deserves a smile that feels “just right.” If you feel your gums take center stage when you laugh or speak, our gummy smile correction (crown lengthening or laser contouring) offers a transformative, permanent solution.
Whether your gummy smile is caused by genetics, jaw development, or how your teeth erupted, our specialized treatments reshape the gum line to reveal the beautiful tooth structure hidden beneath. Using “top-smashing” laser technology and minimally invasive techniques, we ensure your results are symmetrical, natural-looking, and life-changing.
With our expert correction, you can stop hiding your laugh and start smiling with complete confidence. Because when your smile is in balance, you look and feel amazing!
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Dr. Manesh uses artistic precision to map out a gum line that perfectly complements your facial features and lip line for a truly bespoke result.
Forget scalpels and long recovery times. We utilize high-performance lasers to gently remove excess tissue. This means less swelling, no necesidad for sutures in many cases, and a much faster healing process.
Unlike temporary “lip flips” or Botox, our surgical and laser correction provides a long-lasting solution. Once the excess tissue is reshaped, your new, balanced smile is yours to keep for a lifetime.
Sometimes, excess gum tissue can make it harder to clean your teeth properly. By correcting your gum line, we make it easier to maintain oral hygiene and prevent future periodontal issues.
Your comfort is our priority. We use specialized numbing techniques and gentle laser energy to ensure the procedure is virtually painless. Most patients are back to their normal routine the very next day.
The psychological impact of a “smashing” smile is huge. We help patients move past the embarrassment of a “toothy” or “gummy” look, allowing their true personality to shine through.
Patients with “Short” Teeth
If your teeth look small but are actually just hidden under excess gum tissue, this procedure reveals their true length.
Patients Seeking Facial Symmetry
If your gum line is uneven—higher on some teeth and lower on others—we can create a uniform, symmetrical appearance.
Patients Preparing for Veneers/Crowns
To get the best results from cosmetic dentistry, a stable and even gum line is often the first essential step.
Dr. Al Manesh brings 30+ years of experience in periodontal and implant surgery. Correcting a gummy smile requires an expert eye for facial esthetics and a deep understanding of oral anatomy.
No! We use local anesthesia to ensure you are completely numb. Most patients describe the sensation during laser treatment as a light “tingling.” Post-procedure discomfort is minimal and easily managed with over-the-counter relievers.
With our laser technology, initial healing happens within 24–48 hours. While the gums continue to mature over a few weeks, you can usually eat and speak normally almost immediately.
Yes. Unlike Botox which wears off in months, gummy smile correction involves the physical reshaping of the tissue/bone levels, meaning your new smile line is permanent.
We take great care to only remove the necessary tissue. Dr. Manesh’s 30 years of experience ensures that your teeth remain healthy and protected while looking their best.
