What Is Gum Recontouring?

Gum recontouring is a precise procedure that removes or reshapes excess gum tissue to create a more balanced and attractive smile. Often performed with a soft tissue laser for maximum accuracy and comfort, it can be done on a single tooth or across the entire smile line. In addition to its cosmetic benefits, gum recontouring can also improve oral health by reducing deep pockets where bacteria tend to collect.

What to Expect

• Local anesthesia for comfort
• Laser or surgical recontouring completed in one visit
• Mild tenderness post-procedure; typically a quick recovery

Gum recontouring reveals more of your natural teeth and transforms your smile with subtle but powerful results. A small change in your gum line can make a big difference in your confidence.
