Create a More Balanced, Confident Smile
If you feel your smile looks “gummy” or uneven, gum contouring can help create a more proportionate and attractive appearance. At Ortega Cottage Dentistry, we offer professional gum contouring in San Juan Capistrano, CA to gently reshape the gumline and enhance overall smile harmony.
By carefully sculpting excess gum tissue, we can reveal more of your natural tooth structure and create a symmetrical, balanced look.
What is Gum Contouring
Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping, is a cosmetic procedure that adjusts the gumline to improve the appearance of your smile. It is often recommended for patients with excess gum tissue or uneven gums that make teeth appear short or irregular.
Gum contouring can be used to:
- Reduce a “gummy” smile
- Even out an uneven gumline
- Improve tooth proportions
- Enhance the results of veneers or crowns
- Refine overall smile symmetry
The goal is to create a natural-looking gumline that complements your teeth and facial features.
The Gum Contouring Process
Your treatment begins with a consultation to evaluate your gum health and determine whether contouring is the right option for you. We carefully plan your procedure to ensure precise and balanced results.
During the procedure, excess gum tissue is gently reshaped to create the desired contour. Modern techniques allow for accuracy and comfort throughout the process. In many cases, the procedure can be completed in a single visit.
After treatment, your gums will heal gradually, revealing a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing smile.
