Cosmetic Gum Contouring
A cosmetic procedure that reshapes the gumline to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
What is it
A cosmetic procedure that uses a laser or scalpel to remove excess or uneven gum tissue and reshape the gumline, creating a more balanced and aesthetically proportionate smile.
How it works
A local anesthetic is applied, and a laser or scalpel is used to carefully remove and reshape excess gum tissue, revealing more of the tooth surface and creating a more balanced, symmetrical gumline.
How it helps
Creates a more balanced and proportionate smile by correcting a gummy appearance or uneven gumline, often dramatically improving overall smile aesthetics in a single visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who might consider this treatment?
Patients who feel their smile looks too gummy, or whose uneven gumline makes teeth appear asymmetrical, and want a simple in-office procedure to improve smile balance.
What is the typical experience?
The area is numbed and the reshaping is completed in a single visit using a laser or scalpel. Mild tenderness lasts a few days during healing, and the final aesthetic result is visible within one to two weeks.
How long does it usually take?
The reshaping is completed in a single visit of about one hour. Mild tenderness resolves within a few days and the final aesthetic result is fully visible within one to two weeks.
Is there anything to keep in mind?
Avoid very hard or crunchy foods for the first few days while the gum tissue heals. If a laser was used, healing is typically faster and more comfortable than with a scalpel, but some tenderness is still normal in the first day or two.
What should I know about recovery after?
Mild tenderness lasts a few days while the gum tissue heals. The final aesthetic result is typically fully visible within one to two weeks of the procedure.
