Cosmetic gum contouring can dramatically enhance your smile by reshaping the gumline to reveal more of your natural teeth. We offer precise gum contouring services for patients seeking a more symmetrical and confident smile. If a “gummy” smile or uneven gums make you feel self-conscious, this gentle procedure may be the perfect solution.

How Gum Contouring Works

Gum contouring, or gum reshaping, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that removes excess gum tissue to create a more proportional gumline. Dr. Neha Agarwal uses advanced tools to carefully sculpt the gum tissue, exposing more of the tooth surface and balancing the appearance of the smile. This treatment is especially beneficial for those who feel their gums overshadow their teeth, creating a fuller, more radiant smile.
