Gum Contouring

Gum contouring reshapes the gum line, so that teeth that look short or uneven appear more balanced.

It is considered only after the gums have been examined and are healthy.

Part of a wider plan

Gum contouring is often considered together with other smile design treatments, such as veneers or bonding, so that the gum line and the teeth are planned as one.

Questions patients ask

Is there a healing period?

The gums need some time to heal afterwards. Before the treatment we explain what to expect and how to care for them.
