What is gum contouring?

Gum contouring, or gummy smile correction, involves the removal of excess gum tissue that obscures your teeth. It addresses several dental concerns, including:

  • Misaligned teeth
  • Uneven lengths
  • Uneven ridges
  • Uneven grooves
  • Inflamed, or swollen gums

Gum contouring is often performed alongside porcelain dental veneers for a harmonious smile transformation.

With the addition of stunning porcelain veneers, your gummy smile can be corrected, unveiling a bright and youthful appearance that looks both natural and balanced. The entire process can be completed in just a few visits.

If you’re feeling anxious about dental visits, we also offer sedation dentistry options tailored to your comfort level.
