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.

Gum recontouring is ideal for patients with a “gummy” smile, uneven or asymmetrical gum lines, or teeth that appear short even though they are healthy. Candidates should also have good overall oral health, as this ensures proper healing and long-lasting results. When these factors align, gum recontouring can dramatically enhance smile balance and confidence.
