Gum contouring is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the gumline by removing or repositioning excess gum tissue. It corrects a gummy smile, an uneven gumline, or teeth that appear too short because the gums cover too much of the tooth surface.

The procedure is typically performed using a soft-tissue laser that removes tissue precisely, minimizes bleeding, and promotes faster healing than traditional surgical methods. Most cases are completed in a single appointment with minimal downtime and results that are permanent.
