A cosmetic procedure called gum contouring can change the shape of the gums. Our dentists perform this procedure to get rid of extra gum tissue. Gum contouring is the solution if your gum line makes you feel self-conscious. Although the primary reason for gum contouring is to make the gums, teeth, and smile look better, there are occasions when it is necessary for medical reasons. Patients with periodontal disease may also benefit from gum contouring as a treatment to improve gum health and remove bacteria and infection.
