What is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or gingival sculpting, is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the gum line. It involves the removal or reshaping of excess gum tissue to create a more symmetrical and proportionate gum line. This procedure is often performed using a laser or traditional surgical techniques.
Gum contouring can address issues such as a gummy smile (excessive gum display), uneven gum line, or teeth that appear too short due to excessive gum coverage. By enhancing the balance between the gums and teeth, gum contouring can help improve the overall aesthetics of a person’s smile.
