Gingival Contouring
Don’t let self-consciousness about your smile hold you back any longer. If you find yourself hiding your smile due to aesthetic concerns, then gingival contouring may be the perfect solution for you.
This transformative procedure not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also improves your oral health.
Some common reasons for considering gingival contouring include:
- Formation of deep gum pockets, leading to plaque buildup.
- Excessive display of gum tissue when smiling (gummy smile).
- Irregular gingival contours.
- Loss of gum tissue between your teeth.
- Exposed root surfaces.

What is Gingival Contouring?
Gingival contouring addresses concerns related to excess gum tissue. With the help of your dentist, this procedure can be completed in just one visit using laser technology, ensuring a painless and comfortable experience. Before the treatment, an anesthetic is applied to the area to maximize your comfort. Once the area is numbed, your dentist will use a dental laser to precisely remove the excess tissue. The laser also seals the gum as it removes tissue, eliminating the need for stitches and minimizing bleeding.
