View Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul is a comprehensive beauty and medical center that goes beyond plastic surgery. Within its state-of-the-art dental division, laser gum contouring — also known as gum reshaping or gingivoplasty — is one of the most popular procedures for patients seeking a more balanced, beautiful smile.
Whether you have a “gummy smile,” uneven gum lines, or excessive gum tissue covering your teeth, View Clinic offers painless, non-invasive laser treatment that transforms your smile in just one visit, with little to no downtime.
🦷 What Is Laser Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring is a cosmetic dental procedure that reshapes or removes excess gum tissue to enhance the proportion between your teeth and gums. Using advanced dental lasers, View Clinic’s dental team can:
- Eliminate excessive gum coverage (gummy smile)
- Correct asymmetrical gum lines
- Expose more of the natural tooth surface
- Sculpt the gums for a more even, symmetrical smile
The laser not only cuts with microscopic precision, but also seals blood vessels, minimizing bleeding, swelling, and recovery time.
