Cosmetic gum shaping, also known as gum contouring or gum reshaping, is a dental procedure that removes excess gum tissue or reshapes uneven gum lines to improve the overall appearance of your smile. It’s commonly recommended for patients with a gummy smile, where the gums cover too much of the teeth, making them look smaller. Using advanced dental lasers or precision tools, our dentists carefully sculpt the gums to create a more balanced and proportionate smile.
We use advanced laser technology to ensure minimal discomfort and faster healing.
Our experts tailor the procedure to complement your facial features and natural teeth.
