Precise gum contouring that creates a more balanced, symmetrical smile by reshaping your gum line.
Reshape your gum line to correct a gummy smile or uneven gum levels for a more balanced look.
Gum Contouring at Woodbend Dental
A high or uneven gum line can make teeth appear short, small, or asymmetrical. Gum contouring uses a soft-tissue laser to precisely reshape the gum line, revealing more of the tooth crown and creating a more proportional, symmetrical smile.
The procedure is minimally invasive, typically requires only topical or local anaesthetic, and heals quickly. Results are immediate and permanent.
Gum contouring is often performed as part of a smile makeover alongside veneers or whitening for maximum impact.
