Laser Gum Recountouring
Make Your Smile More Symmetrical and Attractive
Do you suffer from a “gummy smile?” This phenomenon affects people with extensive gum tissue extending over their teeth. Such a smile can make your teeth appear too tiny and may even cause you to be hesitant to show your pearly whites.
At Smile Studio Orthodontics, Dr. Khan offers laser gum recontouring to correct this condition. Dr. Khan serves the Richmond and Katy, Texas areas with this effective and largely pain-free procedure that can reshape your smile’s appearance into beautiful symmetry.
