Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping, is a cosmetic dental procedure that corrects the gum line to create a more balanced and attractive smile. Some patients show too much gum when they smile (“gummy smile”), while others have uneven gum levels that make their teeth look short or asymmetrical.
For international patients, gum contouring is a fast and effective way to achieve a more natural and confident smile.
