Gum contouring — also known as gingivoplasty, gingivectomy or laser gum contouring surgery — is a procedure that involves reshaping the gum tissue around certain teeth. Gum contouring is done for a variety of reasons, but it’s typically done to correct a dental issue or as a cosmetic procedure.
Gingivoplasty is minor surgery performed to reshape your healthy gum tissue. Dr. John Koutsoyiannis at Sohosmile may also perform the procedure if he needs to remove diseased gum tissue for health reasons. Thanks to technological advancements, Dr. John achieves both through laser gum contouring, a procedure that’s not invasive.
Conditions Requiring Gum ReductionIf your gums are uneven — or if they cover too much or too little of your teeth — gum contouring surgery is considered a cosmetic procedure. That means your insurance may not cover it. If your gum tissue is diseased, it becomes a medically necessary procedure.
