Gum Contouring

Gum contouring reshapes and enhances your gum line. At Smiles By Payet Dentistry, we use modern techniques to correct uneven gums, reduce excess tissue, or address a 'gummy' smile. This procedure improves your smile's appearance and can boost oral health by removing areas where bacteria might gather.

Gum Disease Treatment

Untreated gum disease can lead to serious oral and overall health issues. Our team offers tailored gum disease treatments, from deep cleaning to advanced therapies for severe cases. We focus on addressing the root cause of your gum disease to restore your oral health.

LANAP Laser Gum Therapy

LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a modern, minimally invasive gum disease treatment. This laser therapy targets diseased tissue precisely, encouraging healthy gum and bone growth. LANAP offers quicker healing, less discomfort, and better results than traditional gum surgery.

As your periodontal dentist in Charlotte, we focus on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum diseases. Our approach includes thorough exams, custom treatment plans, and regular maintenance for long-term gum and tooth health.
