A beautiful smile isn’t just about the teeth — the shape and appearance of your gums play a crucial role in your overall smile aesthetics. If you’re unhappy with a “gummy smile,” uneven gum lines, or excess gum tissue, laser gum contouring at 1mm Plastic Surgery in Seoul offers a safe, quick, and minimally invasive solution to enhance your smile and boost your confidence.
With advanced laser technology and expert care, 1mm delivers precise gum reshaping that is comfortable, efficient, and provides natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
What Is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring (also called gingival sculpting or gum reshaping) is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes or reshapes excess gum tissue to improve the proportion between your gums and teeth. It can:
- Correct a gummy smile (where gums cover too much of the teeth)
- Even out asymmetrical gum lines
- Expose more of your natural tooth structure for a balanced look
- Improve gum health by removing diseased or excess tissue
Using laser technology at 1mm Plastic Surgery allows for precise removal of gum tissue with minimal bleeding and discomfort, making it an ideal choice for both aesthetic and functional improvements.
