Gum Reshaping

Create a More Balanced, Confident Smile

Excess or uneven gum tissue can make teeth appear small or your smile look uneven. Gum reshaping and reduction gently contour the gumline, giving your smile proper balance while maintaining healthy gum function. Using advanced laser techniques, treatment is precise, comfortable, and designed for natural results.

What Is Gum Reshaping?

Gum reshaping, also called gum contouring or gummy smile treatment, removes or sculpts excess gum tissue to improve smile symmetry and proportion. It’s ideal for patients with:

  • Excess gum coverage making teeth appear short
  • Uneven or irregular gumlines
  • Cosmetic concerns affecting smile harmony

Gum reshaping can be a standalone procedure or part of a complete smile makeover.

Benefits of Gum Reshaping & Gum Reduction

Gum reshaping and reduction offer more than just cosmetic improvements. By carefully contouring your gums, we can create a smile that looks natural, balanced, and confident — all while supporting your overall oral health.

Improve Smile Balance & Proportion

Careful contouring exposes more of your natural tooth structure, creating a visually balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile.

Highlight Your Teeth

Excess gum tissue can overshadow your teeth. Gum reshaping ensures your teeth are the focal point of your smile.

Create an Even Gumline

Symmetry is key to an attractive smile. Reshaping smooths uneven gums for a uniform and harmonious appearance.

Support Future Dental Treatments

Excess gum tissue can interfere with restorations like veneers, crowns, or bonding. Reshaping creates better access and improves treatment outcomes.

Boost Confidence & Self-Esteem

A balanced, proportional smile can make a big difference in how you feel. Gum reshaping helps you smile with confidence.

Gum Reshaping as Part of a Smile Makeover

Gum reshaping often complements other cosmetic treatments such as:

  • Porcelain veneers
  • Teeth whitening
  • Short-term orthodontics
  • Cosmetic bonding

By creating a balanced gumline first, these treatments can achieve more natural, harmonious, and long-lasting results.
