Cosmetic Gum Shaping

This treatment can be used for any patient who wants to reshape the gum line of their smile for a more pleasant appearance.

Improve Your Smile

In most cases, a gummy smile is the result of excessive gum tissue covering teeth that are a normal length and shape. To correct this problem and give you a smile you can show off with pride, our dentist may recommend cosmetic gum surgery. During this treatment, we will simply remove a small amount of the gum tissue, revealing more of the tooth structure and giving your smile a more aesthetic appearance. Cosmetic gum surgery usually requires just one visit to our office.

If you have a gummy smile or your gumline appears uneven or asymmetrical, cosmetic gum surgery may be a good choice for improving your appearance. Our dentist will help you determine whether cosmetic gum surgery is right for your smile. Call us today to learn more and schedule your individual consultation!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cosmetic gum shaping and why might I need it?

Cosmetic gum shaping, also known as gum contouring or gingival sculpting, is a dental procedure that reshapes the gum line to improve the appearance of your smile. You might need it if you have a “gummy” smile, uneven gum line, or excessive gum tissue covering your teeth. This procedure enhances the symmetry and aesthetics of your smile by exposing more of your teeth and creating a more balanced gum line.

How long does it take to see results from cosmetic gum shaping?

Results from cosmetic gum shaping are typically visible immediately after the procedure, as the reshaped gum line reveals more of your teeth and creates a more aesthetically pleasing smile. However, full healing and the final appearance of your gums can take a few weeks. During this time, it’s important to follow your dentist’s care instructions to ensure optimal healing and achieve the best results.
