Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or gingival sculpting, is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes excess gum tissue or reshapes an uneven gum line. This treatment creates a more proportionate, aesthetically pleasing smile by exposing more of your teeth and enhancing their natural shape. It is often used to correct a gummy smile or gum lines that sit higher on some teeth than others. The result is a balanced, natural-looking smile that frames your teeth and boosts your confidence.
