Gum Contouring

A procedure also known as gum contouring or gingival aesthetics aims to reshape or correct the gum line. This procedure is generally used in cases where there is excess gum tissue or the gum line is irregular. Using tools such as a scalpel or laser, the dentist removes excess gum tissue and reshapes the gum line to reveal more teeth. In this way, the teeth have a more proportional appearance and the aesthetics of the smile are improved.

If there is a receding gum problem, the procedure usually involves repairing the gum tissue. Gingival recession is a condition in which the gums recede and the root surfaces of the teeth are exposed. In this case, the dentist can help restore gum tissue by reshaping the gum or performing a tissue transplant.

Gum shaping or aesthetics can often be a suitable solution for those who want to have a more aesthetic smile or those who have gum health problems. However, it may not be suitable for every patient and it is important to consult a dentist before the procedure. In this way, the treatment plan that best suits the person’s needs and condition can be determined.
