Everything You Need to Know About Gum Contouring and Tooth Re-Shaping

Very few people have perfect teeth, but thankfully we have some incredible techniques that can help to improve the appearance of your smile. Whether you have a gummy smile or your teeth are looking a little run-down, worn or uneven, we can help!

About gum contouring

Gum contouring is a technique that we use frequently to treat gummy smiles. A gummy smile is the name given to the look of the smile when the gums cover a larger than normal portion of the tooth crowns. Although a gummy smile won’t cause you any physical pain, the teeth may appear small and you might feel self-conscious about the look of your smile. Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping, can help to expose more of the tooth crowns, improving the balance of the smile by making the teeth look slightly longer. Contouring is usually a single-session treatment; simply remove very tiny portions of the gum tissue and reshape the gums to create a more attractive aesthetic.

What is tooth re-shaping?

Tooth re-shaping is a cosmetic technique that involves altering the shape of the teeth very slightly to create a more attractive looking smile. This technique is perfect for those who have teeth with worn or uneven edges, chips and some teeth slightly larger than others. Contouring improves the overall look of the smile and will ensure that you feel confident when you smile and speak in public.

Our cosmetic dentists are experienced in these techniques and use their expertise and creativity to produce truly stunning results.

If you’re not happy with the look of your smile and are interested in finding out more about simple techniques that will leave you beaming from ear to ear, call us today!
