What Is a Gummy Smile?
While a gummy smile isn’t harmful, it can make some people feel self-conscious. Fortunately, cosmetic gum contouring is a minimally invasive way to fix it.
What Is Gingival Contouring?
Gingival contouring is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves reshaping the gumline to expose more of the natural tooth structure. At zensmiles, we use laser technology for precise, gentle sculpting of the gum tissue—minimizing discomfort and promoting fast healing.
Benefits of Gingival Contouring
- Improved Smile Proportions: Create a more symmetrical, natural tooth-to-gum ratio.
- Quick and Minimally Invasive: Most cases are completed in a single visit with little to no downtime.
- Enhanced Confidence: You’ll feel more comfortable and confident smiling, speaking, and laughing.
- Better Oral Health: Removing excess gum tissue can make brushing and flossing easier, reducing plaque buildup.
