Gum Contouring
Reshapes an uneven or gummy smile for a more balanced, natural look.
Gum contouring reshapes the gum line so your teeth look more even and proportionate. It can correct a gummy smile, uneven gum levels, or teeth that look too short because of excess gum tissue.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
It's a good fit if you feel your gums show too much when you smile, or if your gum line is uneven. It's often combined with veneers or crowns in a smile makeover.
