Gum Recontouring: Reshape Your Smile with Precision
When you think of a beautiful smile, teeth usually take center stage—but your gums play an equally important role. If you have a “gummy smile,” uneven gum lines, or gums that cover too much or too little of your teeth, gum recontouring(also known as gum reshaping) can help achieve a more balanced, attractive smile.
This safe and effective cosmetic procedure reshapes the gum line for improved aesthetics and, in some cases, better oral health.
What Is Gum Recontouring?
Gum recontouring is a dental procedure that involves carefully removing or reshaping excess gumtissue to expose more of the natural tooth. It can be done using traditional surgical methods ormodern laser technology, depending on your case and preferences.

A gummy smile (excess gum covering the teeth)
Uneven or asymmetrical gum lines
Teeth that appear too short or stubby
Gum tissue that needs reshaping after periodontal treatment
