What Gum Contouring Treats

Rebalance your gum-to-tooth ratio

😁
Gummy Smile
Gums covering too much of your teeth when you smile — contouring removes excess tissue to reveal your natural crown.
📐
Uneven Gum Line
Asymmetric gum levels make even straight teeth look irregular. Precise reshaping creates harmonious contour.
🦷
Exposed Roots
Where recession has exposed root surfaces, a gum graft can restore coverage and reduce sensitivity.
💎
Before Veneers or Crowns
Often performed first to ensure the gum line is perfect before cosmetic restorations are placed.

Common Questions

Gum Contouring FAQ

Does it hurt?
Performed under local anaesthetic. Mild soreness for 3–5 days after. Most return to normal activity next day.
Is it permanent?
Yes. Gum tissue does not grow back after removal.
Is it covered by CDCP?
Cosmetic gum contouring is not covered. Medically necessary gum surgery for periodontal disease may be covered.
Can I get veneers and gum contouring together?
Often in sequence — gum contouring first, veneers 4–8 weeks later once healing is complete.
