Gum Contouring

Here are some reasons why individuals opt for gum contouring:

• Gum contouring is commonly performed to address a gummy smile, where a larger portion of the gums is visible when smiling- by removing excess gum tissue and exposing more of the teeth, gum contouring helps to create a more proportionate smile.
• Some people may have an uneven gumline, where the gum tissue is higher or lower in certain areas, creating an asymmetrical appearanc- the procedure can reshape the gumline to create a smoother and more balanced contour.
• In some cases, excessive gum tissue can make the teeth appear smaller than they actually are- by removing the excess gum tissue, gum contouring can make the teeth look longer and more proportionate, improving the overall harmony of the smile.
• Gum contouring may also be performed in preparation for dental restorations, such as veneers or crowns- by reshaping the gumline, the dental restorations can be placed in a more ideal position, creating a more natural and aesthetic result.
