Your dentist will examine your gum line and discuss the results you are hoping for. The area is numbed with local anesthesia, and your dentist carefully reshapes the gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth structure. Most patients see the improved shape immediately, with some mild swelling in the days that follow as the area heals.

Many patients pair gum contouring with Porcelain Veneers or Teeth Whitening as part of a broader smile makeover, since a balanced gum line makes cosmetic work on the teeth themselves look even better. If your gum concern is related to gum disease rather than appearance alone, Periodontal Treatment & Gum Care may be the more appropriate starting point.

The cost of gum contouring depends on how much reshaping is needed and whether it is combined with other cosmetic treatments. We offer a complimentary consultation and 0% financing to help you plan your smile makeover. Contact us for a personalized quote.
