Gum Contouring

Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or gum sculpting, is a dental treatment aimed at improving the appearance of the gums. It is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing or reshaping excess gum tissue to create a more balanced and symmetrical gumline.

During gum contouring, Dr. Sethi carefully trims away the excess gum tissue using advanced dental instruments and techniques. This helps to expose more of the tooth surface, creating a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing smile. Gum contouring can address a variety of concerns, such as gummy smiles, uneven gumlines, or an excessive display of gum tissue when smiling.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Dr. Sethi will carefully evaluate your specific gum shape and discuss your desired outcome before creating a personalized treatment plan. Using precise and gentle techniques, we will sculpt the gum tissue to achieve the desired shape and symmetry.

Gum contouring not only enhances the appearance of your smile but can also have functional benefits. In some cases, excessive gum tissue can make it difficult to clean the teeth effectively, leading to oral health issues. By reshaping the gums, it becomes easier to maintain proper oral hygiene and prevent gum disease

After the gum contouring procedure, you may experience mild discomfort and sensitivity, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Our dental team will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
