Overview

Gum contouring, or gingivoplasty, is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to improve the appearance of your gums. It involves surgically reshaping the gum line to create a more aesthetic and healthy-looking smile. This procedure can correct issues like a “gummy” smile, gum recession, or an uneven gum line, resulting in more symmetrical, balanced teeth and a significant boost in self-confidence.
