What is gum contouring?

By gum contouring, it suggests reshaping of uneven gum lines and removal of your excessive tissues in the gum. This process is done to enhance the appearance of your teeth. This treatment serves as an ideal solution for receding gums where your teeth is exposed too much due to wearing away of gums. Be it a case of too low or too high gums, you can achieve a harmonious smile with gum contouring.

Why should you get gum contouring?

• Gummy smile: If you have excessive gum tissue, it might give a less proportionate or smaller appearance to your teeth. Gum contouring can be helpful in such cases as it exposes your natural teeth more to give you a balanced and attractive smile.
• Uneven gum line: Some individuals often face issues of irregular or uneven gum lines causing certain teeth to cover other teeth. As a result, it interferes with the appearance of your smile. You can now get a more even and smoother appearance of your teeth with gum contouring.
• Short teeth: Short teeth can be lengthened with gum contouring in some select cases.
