Cosmetic gum contouring, also known as gum shaping or crown lengthening, is a straightforward procedure that can significantly improve the appearance of your smile, especially if you have what is often called a “gummy smile.” A gummy smile occurs when your gums cover too much of your teeth, making them look shorter or less prominent than they truly are. This excess gum tissue can give an unbalanced appearance to your smile, and in some cases may prevent you from being able to receive another type of treatment with ease, such as a crown or other restoration. Cosmetic gum contouring can help with these issues by carefully removing or reshaping the gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth structure.
During this treatment, our skilled dentist will gently contour your gums, enhancing the balance between your teeth and gums. The procedure is quick, and in most cases, can be completed in just one office visit. We use precise techniques to ensure that the final result looks natural and symmetrical. Not only can this treatment give you a more aesthetically pleasing smile, but it can also boost your confidence.
Cosmetic gum contouring is not just for patients with gummy smiles. If your gumline is uneven or asymmetrical, this treatment can also correct these irregularities, giving you a more harmonious look. It is a minimally invasive procedure with a relatively short recovery time, and most patients experience little to no discomfort afterward.
