What is Gum Contouring?

Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or gingivoplasty, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that reshapes the gum tissue around your teeth. It can address a variety of concerns, including a “gummy smile” (where the gums cover too much of the teeth), uneven gum lines, and gum recession. We use advanced techniques and technology to gently sculpt your gums, creating a more symmetrical and attractive smile

Benefits of Gum Contouring

1.

Enhance Your Smile

Gum contouring creates a more balanced and harmonious gum line, improving the overall appearance of your smile.

2.

Quick and Painless

Gum contouring is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal discomfort and a quick recovery time.

3.

Improved Oral Health

Can help reduce deep gum pockets that trap bacteria, promoting better periodontal health.

4.

Long-Lasting Results

Results are permanent, providing a lifelong solution for gum appearance concerns.

A balanced gum line is often associated with a more youthful smile.

We use local anesthesia to numb the treatment area, ensuring your comfort during the procedure. You may experience some mild discomfort or swelling afterward, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
