Laser Dentistry in Davie, FL
We use diode and CO2 dental lasers for soft-tissue work, including reshaping an uneven or gummy smile line.A Gentler Way to Reshape Gum Tissue
A dental laser is a focused beam of light that works on soft tissue with a level of control a blade cannot match. We use two of them in our Davie dental office, a diode laser and a CO2 laser. What we use them for is gum work: evening out a gum line that sits too low, covers too much tooth, or runs unevenly from one tooth to the next.
Reshaping a gummy or uneven smile line
If your teeth look short because your gums sit low over them, or if the gum line runs higher on one tooth than the one beside it, reshaping the tissue changes how the whole smile reads. We map the new line with you first, so you know exactly what you are agreeing to. Then the laser takes away the excess tissue and shapes the new edge. Many patients are finished in a single visit.
A more precise way to shape your gums
A laser gives us a narrow, controlled beam, so we can take away a fraction of a millimeter at a time and stop exactly where we planned to stop. It also seals the tissue as it works, so there is usually less bleeding during the visit. For you, that generally means a calmer appointment, faster healing, and a procedure often done in one sitting.
Comfort during and after your gum contouring
We numb the area we are working on, and most people say the visit was easier than they expected. Because the beam is so precise, we treat only the tissue that needs to change and leave the rest of your gums alone. If you get anxious about dental work, tell us when you book. We can go slowly, explain what we are doing as we go, and stop whenever you want a break.

What patients ask us
What do you use the dental laser for at GEN2?
Gum reshaping. That means evening out a gum line that sits too low over your teeth or runs unevenly across your smile. It is soft-tissue work, and it is what a diode and a CO2 laser do well. If you have been told you need something else and you are wondering whether a laser fits, ask us at your visit and we will give you a straight answer.
Will I feel the laser?
The area is numbed first, so most people feel very little during the treatment itself. Afterward, the gums can feel tender for a while, the way they do after any work on soft tissue. Everyone settles at a slightly different pace, so we will go over what to expect for your own case before you leave.
How long does the appointment take?
Gum reshaping is often done in a single visit. The exact length depends on how many teeth we are working across and how much the line needs to change. We will look first, show you the plan, and tell you what to expect before we schedule anything, so there are no surprises on the day.
How much does laser dentistry cost in Davie, FL?
Laser treatment is priced by the procedure it is part of rather than as a separate line, so gum reshaping and gum therapy each carry their own figure. Patients from Cooper City and across Davie often find laser gum treatment costs less than they expected. You get the estimate at the consultation, which is complimentary.
How long does a laser dentistry appointment take?
Most laser appointments run between twenty minutes and an hour, depending on how many teeth are involved. Reshaping a gum line is often done in one sitting. Because the laser seals as it works, you leave without stitches and with far less soreness than a blade would leave behind.
What is recovery like after laser gum treatment?
Recovery after laser gum treatment is usually mild, with a day or two of tenderness and normal eating soon after. There is little bleeding, because the laser closes the tissue as it goes. We give you aftercare in writing and check the area at a follow-up rather than leaving you to judge it yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Which lasers do you use?
We use two different lasers: a diode laser and a CO2 laser. Both are used for soft-tissue work in our Davie dental office. Which one we reach for depends on what the tissue needs. You do not have to know the difference, and we will tell you what we are using and why.
Is laser gum reshaping only about how my smile looks?
For the gum work we do with the laser, yes, it is about the smile line: gums that cover too much tooth or run unevenly. If we see something at your exam that is a health issue rather than a cosmetic one, we will tell you that plainly and talk through what it actually needs.
Can you show me the new gum line before you start?
We map it out with you first, so you can see what is being changed and agree to it. Nothing is reshaped until you have looked at the plan and said yes. If you would rather go home and think about it, that is completely fine with us.
How do I know if I am a candidate for gum reshaping?
Come in and let us look. We check how much tooth your gums are covering, how even the line is, and how it sits with the rest of your face. Then we tell you honestly whether reshaping would make a real difference or whether it would not.
Is there a charge to find out what my options are?
The cosmetic consultation is complimentary. We look, we listen to what bothers you, and we tell you what we would and would not do. If we do not think laser gum work is right for you, you will hear that too.
