What Is Gum Contouring?

Gum contouring is a simple procedure that helps to improve the aesthetic appearance of your smile by reshaping and evening out your gums. The process involves using lasers or other tools to remove excess gum tissue from areas where it is disproportionate and/or covering too much tooth surface. This allows for more even looking teeth that can reduce the appearance of a “gummy” smile.

Benefits of Gum Contouring

Gum contouring can help to give you a more uniform and even gum line, leading to an aesthetically pleasing smile and improved self-confidence. The procedure is also beneficial for preventative dental health by allowing for easier access for brushing and flossing. By removing excess gum tissue, it exposes more of the tooth surface, allowing for better cleaning and helping to reduce the risk of cavities, periodontal disease, and other dental issues. Gum contouring can also be used to correct a “gummy” smile caused by excessive amounts of gum tissue or an uneven gum line. By removing the excess tissue, it can help to reveal more of the teeth and create a more balanced smile.

What to Expect During the Procedure

At Dental Masters, our goal is to make sure you are comfortable throughout your treatment. We will discuss your specific needs so that we can tailor the procedure to meet your individual needs.

When you arrive for your appointment, we will apply a local anesthetic to help reduce any potential discomfort during the procedure. We will then use lasers or other tools to carefully remove any excess gum tissue and reshape the remaining gums into their desired locations. The procedure is generally quick and can be completed in just one visit.

"I’ve been going to Dental Masters of Alexandria for years and a patient of Dr. Laviola since he started practicing here. He’s very personable, knowledgeable, takes time to explain procedures (I’ve had quite a few!) and is just an amazing dentist. The entire staff is wonderful, always helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!"

"I have been a patient of Dr. Laviola's for several years now, and this is the best dental practice I have ever been to. Dr. Laviola and the whole team takes extraordinary care to make sure you are always comfortable throughout any cleaning and procedure, both major and minor (I have had both). The entire support team is also great."
