Correction of Gummy Smile
Diode laser gingivoplasty and lip repositioning neuromodulation to align excessive gum display with natural tooth proportions.
Laser Gingival Contouring.Balanced Gum-to-Tooth Proportions.
Correction of Gummy Smile at 22Luna addresses excessive gum tissue visibility (showing more than 3mm of gum when smiling) using soft-tissue diode laser gingivoplasty or precision lip neuromodulation.
By gently sculpting overgrown gum margins with optical laser energy to expose the full natural crown of your teeth—or using micro-doses of Botox in hyperactive upper lip elevator muscles (LLSAN)—we restore harmonious, elegant smile proportions in a single visit.
Is this treatment right for you?
Ideal For
- Excessive pink gum display when smiling or laughing
- Teeth that appear short, square, or hidden beneath thick gum margins

This is a guide, not a definitive list. Your suitability will always be assessed individually during a consultation before any treatment is recommended.
How it works.
Proportion Mapping
Gum margin symmetry and ideal tooth height-to-width ratio (80%) are calculated.
Gentle Topical Numbing
Local anesthetic gel ensures zero discomfort during laser contouring.
Laser Gingivoplasty Sculpting
Soft-tissue diode laser vaporizes excess gum tissue and seals micro-capillaries instantly.
Lip Elevator Relaxer (Optional)
Micro-units of Botox are placed at the LLSAN muscle to prevent excessive upper lip retraction.

Frequently Asked Questions
The most common questions about this treatment, answered plainly.
Does laser gum contouring hurt?
No. The gums are completely numbed with local anesthesia before starting. The laser seals nerve endings as it sculpts, so there is virtually zero post-operative pain or bleeding.
Will the sculpted gum tissue grow back?
Not Sure If This Is Right For You?
