What is gum contouring?
Gum contouring reshapes the gumline. It may involve removing excess gum tissue after assessment of the teeth, gums and smile. It is not the removal of tooth tissue.
Assessment before treatment
Your dentist discusses the concern and checks whether this approach is suitable. Treating gum disease, correcting gum recession and cosmetic contouring are different procedures and should not be treated as the same operation.
Procedure and recovery
The technique, anaesthesia and healing time depend on the extent of treatment. Discomfort and swelling can occur. Your dentist provides the specific cleaning, diet and follow-up instructions. Contact the treating team if recovery concerns you.
