Gum Contouring at Studio Dentale
Every person has a unique gum line — some high, some low. If your gummy smile has been bothering you, gum contouring and shaping can help reshape your gum line.
Gum contouring is a procedure that helps reshape your gums and resculpt your smile. Excess gum tissue is removed and restored at a higher point — and if recession is causing sensitivity, gum surgery can help cover exposed tooth surfaces too.

Steps Involved in Gum Contouring
A specialist periodontist performs gum surgery in a single sitting, following these steps.
Local Anaesthesia
The treatment area is numbed for a comfortable procedure.
Precise Reshaping
A soft-tissue blade or laser removes extra tissue and redesigns the gum line.
Tissue Grafting (if needed)
Tissue can be added from another part of the mouth to restructure the smile.
Single-Sitting Procedure
Most gum contouring is completed in one appointment.

- A gummy smile with excess visible gum tissue

Case Study
"A confident smile starts with a balanced gum line."
Patients with a gummy smile often feel self-conscious, even when their teeth themselves are healthy and well cared for.
Gum contouring reshapes the visible gum tissue to bring teeth and gums into better proportion, giving patients a smile they're proud to show.
