In Calgary, the cost for laser gum therapy typically ranges from $500 to $1,500 per quadrant, depending on the severity of the condition. For cosmetic gum contouring, the professional fee usually starts at approximately $300 per tooth for precise reshaping.

Laser technology effectively treats the underlying infections that cause recession, though it cannot physically regrow tissue that has already been lost. Advanced laser-assisted protocols stabilize the gum line and stimulate the healing of existing attachments to prevent further recession.

A laser gum lift, also known as crown lengthening or a gingivectomy, generally costs between $200 and $600 per tooth in the local area. This procedure removes excess tissue to expose more of the natural tooth structure, creating a balanced and less "gummy" smile.

Many insurance providers in Alberta cover laser gum treatments under "Periodontic Services" if the procedure is medically necessary to treat gum disease. Coverage typically ranges from 50% to 80% of the fee guide amount, though cosmetic contouring is often an out-of-pocket expense.
