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. This treatment helps give your smile a wider, more uniform appearance. Call our office at 951-695-6269 to learn more about cosmetic gum shaping in Temecula, California, and schedule an appointment with Dr. K. Pat Brown or Dr. Matthew Wasemiller today.

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.

This is hands down the best dentist I’ve ever been! They are so caring, engaging and kind. Every single person that I have come in contact with and communicated with had been very professional and sweet. I recommend this dentist to everyone.

I had such a great experience at my first visit. Everyone that I dealt with was amazing. From the receptionist, to the hygienist assistant, to the hygienist, to the Dr; they were all very nice and very helpful. Julie cleaned my teeth and she is very nice and explained everything very well. Great conversation made it a great experience as well. Not to mention the view out the 2nd story windows is very relaxing. Highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you guys!

I love coming to my dentist office here with my hygienist Melissa! She does a great job cleaning and keeping my teeth healthy. I have a tartar allergy and when she treats my gums with laser they feel so good after! Been coming for like 10 years now, and I love it. I also got some retainers done years back with Wendy was amazing. I have moved 3 times and don’t mind driving over 1 hr because I know the quality of care is there. The entire staff is super friendly and Dr K. Brown is as well! This office is pain-free for sure!

As a cancer patient, my teeth have really suffered because of all the radiation I have had. As a result of this, I have special dental needs and challenges. Dr. Joy at Dr. Brown’s office has been my primary dentist for about a year now and she is so wonderful! She makes me feel comfortable and at ease, even when I’m getting procedures done (I’m usually very anxious). The staff is friendly and professional. I wish I would have found them 20 years ago, when I first moved to the valley! Dr. Brown’s office is simply the best!

Kimberly S.

I want to begin by saying that I am so scared to go to the dentist. I have had very painful experiences in the past which caused me not to make even a simple cleaning appointment in the last 5 years. Melissa talked to me about the importance of dental health and convinced me to come to Dr. Brown’s office. I am so incredibly grateful that I did! She was amazing! She was so gentle and attentive. She genuinely cared about whether or not I was in pain and did her best to minimize it. I will never let another hygienist touch my mouth. I’m a patient for life! Thanks, Melissa!

Darla C.

Never thought I would say I love my Dentist! They have a very professional & compassionate organization. You will notice it as soon as you enter the office & are greeted by the front desk staff. Everyone is positive, warm, & welcoming. As for the dentist, I see Dr. Wasemiller & he takes care of me with compassion, and information, & understands patient fears. Julie, the dental tech always keeps my chompers clean & dialed! I have recommended them to my sister & mother. They have the same experience as well! Thank you for your professionalism & care.
