Gum Contouring
Overview
Gum contouring adjusts excessive or uneven gum tissue so teeth look proportional. It is often used for a ‘gummy’ appearance or uneven heights between teeth. Laser or conventional techniques may be used depending on the case and biotype.
Benefits

Treatment Process
We mark the desired gum line, provide anaesthesia as needed, remove or reshape tissue carefully, and give healing instructions. Follow-up ensures comfort and maturation of the tissue.
FAQs
Will gums grow back?
Healing varies by person; we plan conservatively and review maintenance with you.
