The Significance of Gum Contouring
Gum contouring offers both cosmetic and functional benefits. Also known as gingivectomy or gum reshaping, this procedure adjusts the gum line for ideal dental and facial aesthetics. Some people have a “gummy smile” with excessive gum tissue that appears unattractive when smiling. Receding gums can prematurely expose more teeth than desired.
Uneven gum lines create noticeable asymmetry. Gum contouring removes extra gum tissue to create proper tooth length exposure and evenly aligned gum contours. The reshaped gums beautifully frame the teeth for a vibrant, balanced smile.
Additionally, gum contouring treats issues like uneven gum recession and abnormal gum growth caused by gum disease or irritation. Removing excess tissue allows thorough cleaning of gum pockets to improve oral health. With customized reshaping by Dr. Prab, gum contouring enhances smiles and supports gum health.
