What Is Gum Contouring?

Gum contouring—also known as gingival sculpting or gum reshaping—is a cosmetic dental procedure that adjusts the shape, height, or symmetry of your gumline. Using advanced tools (such as dental lasers or precision instruments), we gently remove excess gum tissue or reshape the gumline to create a more proportionate, attractive smile.

Gum contouring may be right for you if:

  • You have a gummy smile that reveals too much gum
  • Your teeth appear short or stubby
  • Your gumline is uneven or asymmetrical
  • You want a more polished, balanced look to your smile
  • You’re considering veneers or crowns and want an ideal gum shape

This safe and effective procedure can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile—often in just one visit.

Gum contouring isn’t just about aesthetics—it can also play a role in improving oral health, especially if excess tissue traps bacteria or interferes with proper cleaning.

The benefits include:

  • Teeth that appear longer and more proportionate
  • A boost in self-confidence and photo readiness
  • Long-term, stable results in just one session
  • Improved gum health in certain cases
  • Customisable for cosmetic or restorative purposes

The result? A healthier-looking, more attractive smile you’ll feel proud to share.
