Gum contouring is a procedure that reshapes or removes excess gum tissue to improve the appearance of your smile. While it’s often considered cosmetic, it can also have health-related benefits.
✨ Cosmetic Benefits
- Fixes a “gummy smile” where too much gum shows when you smile
- Creates better balance between teeth and gums
- Improves the symmetry and shape of your smile line
🦷 Health Benefits
- Can help reduce pockets where bacteria collect
- May be used in conjunction with periodontal treatments
⚙️ How It’s Done
- Usually performed with a laser or scalpel under local anesthesia
- Healing is quick — most patients return to normal activities within a few days
