Gum contouring is a cosmetic dental procedure that reshapes the gumline to improve the proportion and the symmetry of your smile. Using a soft tissue laser, Dr. Irvani gently removes or sculpts excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth surface, creating a more even and aesthetically balanced result. Because the laser seals as it works, there is usually no need for stitches and healing is considerably quicker. The procedure is typically completed in a single visit. Most patients find it far gentler than they had expected.

Your smile shows more gum tissue than you would like, which makes you self-conscious about it, and it has continued that way for some time now.
Gum heights vary across your smile, so some teeth appear longer or shorter than their neighbors, and it has continued that way for some time now.
Excess tissue makes your teeth look short even though the crowns underneath are a normal size, and it has continued that way for some time now.
Gum reshaping would complete a wider cosmetic plan that also includes veneers or whitening, and it has continued that way for some time now.
Dr. Irvani gave me a second opinion consultation regarding Invisilign, tooth alignment, for my teeth. I was concerned that it might not be the best choice for me as I have receding gums. He examined my teeth and gums and then gave me his professional opinion. I trust him as I was a patient at one time and I have a neighbor who has been a patient of his for years who thinks highly of him. The consultation was without cost to me. I can now make my decision confidently regarding Invisilign. Thank you Dr. Irvani!View on Google
Friendly service from everyone in the office. Thorough evaluation of my gums and teeth. I've been getting fairly regular dental exams. Just recently started going to his office. Learned more about my teeth and dental health yesterday than in all my years of visiting other dentists. Highly recommended!View on Google
I’ve always had sensitive gums and a mouth, making things nerve racking visiting a dentist. This isn’t the case here! I’m treated with gentleness and cautiousness for cleanings, x-rays, and consultations. Highly recommend.View on Google
I have never thought going to a dental office would be this pleasant!! Very knowledgeable doctor and entire staff. My deep gum cleaning was painless and very professionally done! I will refer dr. Irvani and his dental office to everyone 👍View on Google
Dr. Irvani has been my dentist for years. Came in with an insanely painful and infected abscess deep under my gum and tooth which required extraction of the tooth as well as treating the infected tissue, followed by an implant. I was completely freaked out about the procedure but it was actually pretty much painless and not a big deal at all. I had the final tooth fit yesterday onto the implant and it looks and feels great. Dr. Irvani and his staff are the best!View on Google
