The frame matters as much as the picture
Teeth are only half a smile — gums are the frame. Contouring gently reshapes an uneven or over-prominent gumline so your teeth look longer, straighter, and beautifully balanced.
Balance for gummy or uneven smiles
If you show more gum than tooth when you smile, or one tooth looks shorter than its neighbour purely because of where the gum sits, contouring is often the elegantly simple answer. Reshaping is measured in fractions of a millimetre — small changes with outsized visual impact.
Using precise, gentle instruments, we sculpt the gumline to a planned design under local anesthetic. Healing is quick, discomfort is minimal, and the result is immediately visible — a symmetrical frame that makes every other cosmetic treatment look better too.
- Millimetre-precise digital planning
- Single comfortable visit
- Fast, smooth healing
- Often paired with veneers or whitening
Benefits at a glance
Instant symmetry
An even gumline immediately makes teeth appear longer, straighter, and more uniform.
Quick recovery
Modern techniques mean most patients are back to normal eating within days.
Amplifies everything else
Whitening and veneers both look dramatically better inside a balanced frame.
What to expect
We map your gumline against your lip line and tooth proportions to design the change.
Under local anesthetic, the new contour is sculpted precisely to plan.
A short follow-up confirms smooth, even healing and a result you love.
Questions, answered
Does gum contouring hurt?+
The procedure itself is painless under local anesthetic. Afterwards, expect mild tenderness for a few days — most patients manage with over-the-counter relief, if anything.
Will the gums grow back?+
Properly contoured gum tissue does not grow back — the result is permanent. That's why we plan conservatively and preview the design with you first.
Am I a candidate?+
If your concern is excess or uneven gum display, very likely yes. When a 'gummy' look comes from jaw position or lip movement instead, we'll tell you honestly and discuss what would actually help.
