Treatment Overview
High-Precision Gum Recontouring Laser in Korea is a next-generation cosmetic and functional gum sculpting procedure that uses biophotonic laser technology and AI-guided digital design to achieve perfect gum symmetry, proportion, and contour.
This advanced treatment gently reshapes excessive or uneven gum tissue to create a balanced smile line while maintaining periodontal health. Unlike traditional methods, laser recontouring is pain-free, bloodless, and requires no sutures — ensuring instant aesthetic improvement and minimal recovery time.
Korean dentists combine AI smile simulation, digital gum mapping, and ultra-fine biophotonic lasers to deliver stunning, natural-looking results with millimeter-level precision.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Reshape uneven or overgrown gum tissue for a balanced smile.
- Correct “gummy smiles” caused by excessive gingival display.
- Define natural tooth proportions for aesthetic harmony.
- Enhance gum symmetry and smile balance through laser precision.
- Maintain gum health by sterilizing bacteria during treatment.
Benefits
- Ultra-Precise Sculpting: AI-guided lasers ensure perfect contouring.
- No Bleeding or Sutures: Laser seals tissue instantly for clean healing.
- Minimal Downtime: Return to daily life within hours.
- Enhanced Smile Aesthetics: Creates balanced gum lines and tooth ratios.
- Pain-Free Comfort: Gentle, minimally invasive procedure.
- Sterile & Safe: Laser energy sterilizes as it reshapes.
- Long-Lasting Results: Permanent improvement with natural appearance.
Ideal Candidates
This treatment is ideal for:
- Individuals with uneven gum lines or excessive gum display.
- Those preparing for veneers, crowns, or orthodontic treatments.
- Patients seeking smile design and aesthetic enhancement.
- People with post-orthodontic gum irregularities.
- Those who want a non-surgical, fast, and precise cosmetic solution.
- International patients seeking digital smile transformation in Korea.
Possible Risks & Complications
Laser gum recontouring is safe and precise. However, mild temporary effects may occur:
- Slight gum tenderness or dryness for 24–48 hours.
- Temporary pink-to-white discoloration during healing.
- Minor swelling that resolves within a day.
Korean dentists use AI-calibrated laser energy and temperature-controlled biophotonic technology to ensure optimal comfort and tissue protection.
Techniques & Technology Used
Core Techniques
- High-Precision Biophotonic Laser Contouring: Micro-accurate tissue sculpting.
- AI Smile Design Simulation: Previews final gum-to-tooth ratio before treatment.
- Digital Gum Mapping & Symmetry Analysis: 3D laser scans for proportional balance.
- Oxygen-Ozone Therapy: Disinfects and oxygenates gum tissue.
- PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Healing Booster (Optional): Accelerates cell regeneration.
- CAD/CAM Design Integration: Guides digital precision in contouring.
- Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT): Pre-laser cleansing for sterile gum surfaces.
- Laser Biostimulation: Encourages faster healing and collagen production.
These combined technologies provide aesthetic artistry, biologic safety, and clinical precision unmatched by conventional methods.
