When you think of a beautiful smile, your teeth likely take center stage—but your gums play a big role too! If you feel your gums are too prominent, uneven, or overshadowing your teeth, gum contouring may be the gentle cosmetic solution you’ve been looking for. At Orleans Dental Centre, we offer personalized gum reshaping to help you achieve a more symmetrical, confident smile.
What Is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping, is a minimally invasive cosmetic dental procedure that sculpts the gumline. Using precise tools, we remove excess or uneven gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth structure and create balance in your smile.
This treatment is often ideal for patients with a:
- “Gummy” smile
- Uneven gumline
- Short-looking teeth
- Asymmetry from prior dental work
