Reframe Your Smile — A Non-Surgical Way to Fix a Gummy Smile at Les Belles NYC
At Les Belles NYC, we believe a beautiful smile starts with harmony – not just between teeth, but between teeth, gums, and overall wellness. That’s why we offer a minimally invasive Laser Gum Lift, a revolutionary technique that reshapes the gumline for a more balanced, radiant smile without the discomfort or downtime of traditional surgery.
“We offer this procedure because it’s gentle, precise, and gets immediate results—just like we’d want for ourselves and our families.”
— Dr. Sharon Huang, Founder of Les Belles NYC
Such an amazing experience! Every single staff member is so sweet, helpful and educational. Pricing was extremely transparent, appointments right on time, and though they specialize in cosmetic dentistry as well, they were not pushy what so ever. They definitely prioritize dental health overall before agreeing to discuss cosmetic options which I found to be very comforting! Would give 10 stars if i could! Ashley Greenstein
What Is a Laser Gum Lift?
A Laser Gum Lift—sometimes called gum contouring—is a quick, non-invasive procedure that removes excess gum tissue to improve the shape, symmetry, and proportion of your smile. Performed using state-of-the-art dental lasers, this treatment:
- Reshapes uneven gumlines
- Minimizes the appearance of a “gummy smile”
- Helps teeth appear longer and more proportional
- Enhances cosmetic dental results when paired with veneers or bonding
And the best part? It’s completed in under 10 minutes, with no stitches, no bleeding, and no downtime.
Who Can Benefit from a Laser Gum Lift?
You may be a candidate for a Laser Gum Lift if you have:
- A “gummy smile” that makes teeth appear too small
- Excess gum tissue covering parts of your teeth
- Uneven gumlines that disrupt the balance of your smile
- Plans for cosmetic or restorative procedures and want a perfect canvas
Whether you’re preparing for veneers, bonding, or simply want to enhance your natural smile, Laser Gum Lift is the ideal complement to your aesthetic goals.
