What Is Gum Recontouring?
Gum recontouring, also called gum contouring or gum reshaping, is a cosmetic procedure that removes or reshapes excess gum tissue around your teeth. By creating a more even gum line, the treatment helps your teeth appear longer and better proportioned.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for gum recontouring if you:
- Feel your smile shows too much gum tissue
- Have an uneven gum line
- Think your teeth appear short because of excess gums
- Want to improve the appearance of your smile before cosmetic treatment
- Have healthy gums and good overall oral health
What Can You Expect During Treatment?
- Consultation: We evaluate your gums and discuss your smile goals.
- Comfortable Procedure: A local anesthetic keeps you comfortable during treatment.
- Precise Reshaping: Excess gum tissue is carefully sculpted for a more even gum line.
- Quick Recovery: Most people return to normal activities within a day or two with simple aftercare.
