Gum contouring, or gingival sculpting, is an option if you need to reduce the amount of gum that shows when you smile. The procedure is typically performed in-office and the results are seen within a short period of time.

One of the advantages of gum contouring is that it is relatively painless. The cosmetic dentist relies on a laser to target the gum that needs to be contoured, which cuts down on the possibility of experiencing pain. Your cosmetic dentist might opt for a local anesthetic if you are concerned about pain or have anxiety about the procedure.
After the procedure is done, there are no restrictions on what you can do. You can immediately return to your usual activities without worrying about damaging your gums. You also have the added benefit of the outcome being permanent. You do not have to worry about your gum line changing again and requiring more sculpting.
If you have been self-conscious about your smile in the past, gum contouring can resolve that issue. The results will get rid of the extra gum and leave you with a better smile.
