Sometimes, achieving a radiant smile requires just a subtle enhancement. At Huisman Family Dentistry, we specialize in Holland gum recontouring and tooth recontouring to transform smiles with precision and care. Using state-of-the-art laser technology, we deliver beautiful results quickly, effectively, and with minimal recovery time.
What Is Laser Gum Recontouring?
The gumline plays a crucial role in framing your teeth, much like a picture frame enhances a work of art. Laser gum recontouring is a gentle procedure designed to reshape or lift your gums, improving the symmetry and proportion of your smile. Whether you have a “gummy” smile or uneven gumlines, this treatment can make a striking difference, revealing more of your teeth and enhancing your overall appearance.
Key benefits include:
- A more balanced and symmetrical gumline
- Enhanced proportions for a harmonious smile
- Minimal discomfort and a fast recovery
What Is Tooth Recontouring?
Tooth recontouring is a conservative and artistic treatment that reshapes the edges of your teeth to create a more even, harmonious look. It’s ideal for addressing minor imperfections such as:
- Chipped tooth edges
- Slight misalignments
- Irregular tooth shapes
This quick, painless procedure smooths and refines your smile for a polished, natural appearance, enhancing your confidence in no time.
The Advantages of Recontouring Treatments
- Non-Invasive: Both gum and tooth recontouring are gentle, minimally invasive treatments.
- Immediate Results: Enjoy visible improvements right after your procedure.
- Quick Recovery: Thanks to advanced laser technology, recovery times are minimal.
- Personalized Care: Each treatment is tailored to suit your unique smile and aesthetic goals.

When recontouring is the right answer
Recontouring changes the frame around your teeth rather than the teeth themselves, and it suits a specific set of complaints: a gumline that sits low and makes teeth look short, gum height that differs from one tooth to the next, or a single canine or incisor whose edge is pointed or uneven. If the teeth themselves are discoloured, worn through or badly out of line, recontouring alone will not deliver what you are after and veneers or bonding are the better route. What causes a gummy smile explains which cases respond.
What the appointment involves
We start by photographing and measuring your smile so the new gumline is planned rather than improvised, and we check the bone level beneath the gum, because gum that is removed without regard to the bone underneath grows back. Local anaesthetic is used, the tissue is reshaped with the laser, and any tooth recontouring is done with a fine polishing bur. Most cases are one visit. Our laser dentistry page explains the instrument in more detail.
Healing and what to expect
The gum looks its worst on day two and settles over ten to fourteen days, with the final contour visible at around six weeks once the tissue has fully matured. Expect tenderness rather than pain, keep to soft food for a few days, and brush gently along the treated margin. Because the laser seals as it works, bleeding afterwards is usually minimal and stitches are rarely needed.
Recontouring as part of a smile plan
Recontouring is often the first step rather than the whole treatment. Correcting the gumline before bonding or veneers means the restorations can be made to the right proportions instead of compensating for them, and whitening is usually done last so the shade is matched to the finished shape. See our smile makeover page, tooth bonding and porcelain veneers for the options that usually follow.
