Gum Contouring

Gum Contouring is a cosmetic dental treatment that reshapes an uneven or excessive gumline to create a more balanced smile. It may be suitable for patients whose teeth appear short, whose gums cover too much of the tooth surface, or whose gumline varies noticeably from one tooth to another.

During the procedure, the dentist carefully removes or reshapes small amounts of gum tissue to improve the visible proportions of the teeth. The treatment is planned around your natural smile, facial features, and oral health so the final result looks refined rather than overcorrected. Local numbing is used to help keep the appointment comfortable.

Mild tenderness or swelling may occur while the gums heal, and the DentalCare team will provide clear aftercare instructions for brushing, eating, and protecting the treated area. Once healing is complete, the gumline can appear smoother and more symmetrical, helping the teeth look more even and enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.
