What Is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring (also called gum reshaping or gingival contouring) is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes excess gum tissue or restores gum tissue to improve the appearance of your smile. The procedure is typically performed using a soft-tissue laser, which allows for precise reshaping with minimal bleeding and faster healing compared to traditional methods.

Gum Contouring FAQs
Is gum contouring painful?
Local anesthesia is used during the procedure to ensure your comfort. Most patients experience only mild soreness for a few days after treatment, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two. Complete healing of the gum tissue typically takes 1–2 weeks. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
Is gum contouring permanent?
Yes. Gum contouring results are permanent. The removed gum tissue does not grow back, so you can enjoy your enhanced smile for life.
