Gum Recontouring Overview

Our dentists may suggest gum recontouring, also known as cosmetic gum shaping, if you want to adjust the appearance of your gumline.

Gum Recontouring, also known as cosmetic gum surgery, gingivectomy, or crown lengthening, is a simple and effective treatment designed to reshape the gumline and enhance your smile. If your smile appears overly “gummy,” where your teeth look unusually short due to excess gum tissue, gum recontouring may be the perfect solution. This condition often results from gums covering more of the teeth than necessary, even if the teeth themselves are of normal size and shape.

Why Consider Gum Recontouring?

A gummy smile can make you feel self-conscious, even if your teeth are healthy. It addresses this by gently removing a small amount of gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth structure. As a result, your smile becomes more balanced and aesthetically pleasing. Additionally, if your gumline appears uneven or asymmetrical, this procedure can create a smoother, more harmonious look.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Our experienced dentists perform gum recontouring right here in our office, usually in just one visit. Using advanced tools and techniques, they ensure your comfort throughout the process. After evaluating your smile, they will precisely sculpt the gum tissue to achieve a natural and attractive appearance.

Is Gum Recontouring Right for You?

If you feel your gums overshadow your teeth or your smile looks unbalanced, it might be the right choice. It’s a safe and quick way to dramatically improve your smile’s appearance.
