Gum Contouring

Gum contouring is a cosmetic treatment to improve the tooth-to-gum ratio, treating what is commonly known as a ‘gummy smile’.

This is when there is excess gum tissue covering teeth, making them appear shorter in length.

Gum Contouring For A Well-Balanced And Beautiful Smile

Using this simple technique, we can create an even gum line, and remove areas of excess gum. This process improves the overall appearance of your teeth, creating a pleasing width and length ratio per tooth, in relation to the amount of gum present.

Our dentists use minimally invasive techniques to perform your treatment. Local anaesthetic is used, and we will carefully reshape and contour your gums in order for more of your natural tooth structure to be revealed.

With a balanced and proportioned smile achieved, you won’t have to feel like hiding your smile away from others.

Gum Contouring As Part Of A Full Smile Makeover

We offer gum contouring both as a standalone treatment, and as part of a full smile makeover. Gum contouring is a popular treatment alongside teeth whitening and composite bonding.
