If you feel your smile looks “too gummy” or uneven, you may be a candidate for gum contouring. At Paul Dental Centre, we help patients enhance their smiles with safe, effective cosmetic procedures — and gum contouring is one of the most popular options for improving gum lines.
What Is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or gingival sculpting, is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves reshaping or removing excess gum tissue to improve the appearance of the smile. It is commonly used to:
- Remove excess gum tissue (a “gummy smile”)
- Create a more even gum line
- Expose more of the natural tooth
- Improve the balance between gums and teeth
The procedure can be performed using a dental laser or traditional surgical tools, depending on the case and your needs.
Who Might Need Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring is usually an elective cosmetic procedure, but it can also be recommended for functional reasons. You may be a good candidate if you have:
- A gummy smile that makes your teeth look shorter than they are
- Uneven gum lines that affect the appearance of your teeth
- Excess gum tissue covering part of your tooth surface
- Inflammation or infection that requires gum tissue reshaping as part of treatment
Our dental team will assess your gum health and discuss whether gum contouring is right for you.
Benefits of Gum Contouring
✅ Improved Smile Aesthetics
Gum contouring can create a more symmetrical, attractive smile by making teeth appear longer and more proportionate.
✅ Boosted Confidence
When your smile looks better, you feel better. Patients often report increased self-confidence after the procedure.
✅ Fast and Minimally Invasive
When performed with laser technology, the procedure involves minimal bleeding, reduced discomfort, and a faster recovery.
✅ Long-Lasting Results
Gum contouring results are usually permanent because the tissue does not grow back once removed properly.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Evaluation and planning – Your dentist will examine your gums, take images, and discuss your goals.
- Local anesthesia – The area is numbed so you feel no pain.
- Reshaping – Excess gum tissue is carefully trimmed or reshaped with precision tools or a dental laser.
- Healing – Most patients experience mild soreness or swelling for a few days, which can be managed with medication and home care.
Is Gum Contouring Safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained dental professional. At Paul Dental Centre, we use modern techniques and sterile equipment to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. As with any dental procedure, proper aftercare and follow-up are essential for the best results.
Is It Right for You?
If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your gums or your smile looks unbalanced, gum contouring might be a good option. However, it’s important to first treat any existing gum disease or oral health issues before undergoing cosmetic procedures.
