What is Gum Contouring?



Gum contouring is a dental procedure designed to enhance the appearance of your smile by reshaping the gum line. It involves the removal of excess gum tissue to create a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing gum line. This procedure can be performed for both cosmetic and functional reasons.

Why is Gum Contouring Done?



  1. Cosmetic Enhancement: Gum contouring can improve the appearance of a "gummy smile," where excess gum tissue makes the teeth appear shorter than they actually are. By reshaping the gums, more of the tooth surface is exposed, creating a more balanced and attractive smile.

  2. Functional Improvement: In some cases, uneven or excessive gum tissue can lead to oral health issues such as gum disease or difficulty in cleaning the teeth properly. Gum contouring can help address these issues by creating a healthier and easier-to-maintain gum line.

  3. Preparation for Restorative Procedures: Gum contouring may be necessary before certain restorative dental procedures, such as dental crowns or veneers. By reshaping the gums beforehand, the restorations can be better integrated into the smile for optimal results.
