Gum contouring, also known as gingival sculpting or gingivoplasty, is a dental procedure that can help reshape your gumline. The process involves removing excess gum tissue and reshaping the remaining gum tissue to create a more symmetrical, proportionate, and aesthetically pleasing gum line. The procedure is usually done by a periodontist or cosmetic dentist in their office under local anesthesia. Recovery time is usually one to two weeks, and aftercare instructions will be provided by your dentist to help you recover quickly and safely.
Explore the aesthetic and functional advantages of gum contouring. From correcting uneven gum lines to improving dental health, learn how this procedure can enhance the symmetry of your smile, boost confidence, and contribute to overall oral well-being.
Gum contouring is a dental procedure that can help reshape your gumline. The process involves cutting away or removing excess gum tissue around your teeth. If you have gum recession, the procedure involves restoring gum tissue. The procedure is usually done by a periodontist or a cosmetic dentist and is an in-office procedure that’s typically done in one visit.
The length of the procedure will vary depending on the extent of the contouring and the amount of resculpting that’s needed. During the procedure, the doctor will use a soft tissue laser or scalpel to remove excess gum tissue and resculpt the gumline to expose more of the tooth. Sutures may be used to hold the gum tissue in place. If your gums recede and the procedure involves adding gum tissue, your doctor will remove tissue from another part of your mouth, maybe your palate.
