What is Gum Contouring?

Gum contouring is a dental procedure that reshapes or removes excess gum tissue to create a balanced and symmetrical gum line. This not only enhances the appearance of the teeth but can also improve oral health by reducing areas where plaque and bacteria accumulate.

Gum contouring is commonly performed for:

  • Improving the aesthetics of a gummy smile
  • Correcting uneven or asymmetrical gum lines
  • Enhancing the appearance of short or uneven teeth
  • Supporting better oral hygiene by removing excess tissue

How is Gum Contouring Performed?

The procedure is minimally invasive and can be done using laser technology or traditional surgical techniques:

Consultation and Assessment:  A detailed evaluation of the gum line, teeth, and smile aesthetics.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia ensures comfort during the procedure.

Reshaping the Gum Line: Excess tissue is removed or reshaped using a laser or scalpel.

Healing and Aftercare: Patients receive instructions on oral hygiene and follow-up care.

The procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes and often requires only a single session.

Advantages of Gum Contouring

  • Creates a balanced and attractive smile
  • Corrects a gummy or uneven gum line
  • Improves oral hygiene by reducing plaque-prone areas
  • Minimally invasive with quick recovery
  • Can enhance the appearance of teeth without crowns or veneers
  • Boosts confidence and self-esteem

Recovery After Gum Contouring

Recovery is generally quick, with minor swelling or discomfort for a few days. Patients are advised to:

  • Eat soft foods during the first 1–2 days
  • Maintain excellent oral hygiene
  • Avoid smoking and alcohol for faster healing
  • Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing
  • Full results are typically visible within 1–2 weeks.

Risks and Considerations

Gum contouring is safe when performed by an experienced dentist, but minor risks may include:

  • Temporary sensitivity of teeth and gums
  • Minor swelling or bleeding
  • Infection if post-operative care is not followed

Badge Health ensures precise treatment, high-quality care, and detailed aftercare guidance for optimal results.
