Since I was getting braces, I figured I might as well complete the process with nice, pink gums! :) The procedure was only like 2 hours or less (with a break). The doctor was really knowledgeable and even told me that I may not really need it because my smile wasnt gummy, but I was insistent. She did such a good job and was a total perfectionist! Couldnt have asked for a nicer, more professional lady. The resulets were immediate and I feel so much more confident now! The only down side is that your gums may be sore for a few days and you tend to bleed when u brush. I got a baby toothbrush from the store to make brushing less painful. And after brushing your teeth make sure to mix water and hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash. It not only does the same as Listerine without the alcohol, but it also tops bleeding :) will add pics later

Were those stubborn areas present immediately after the treatment, or did they reoccur over time? Also, do you know what sort of tool was used? Was it a laser?
