What Is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or sculpting, is a cosmetic dental procedure that adjusts the shape of your gums to enhance the appearance of your smile. Some people naturally have excess gum tissue, making their teeth look shorter or uneven. Others may experience gum recession as a result of periodontal disease, causing an unbalanced look between their gums and teeth. Traditionally, gum contouring is performed surgically using scalpels, requiring longer recovery time and more pain.
Thanks to modern dental advancements, non-surgical options now offer a minimally invasive way to reshape the gum line. Among these, laser gum contouring has become a popular choice due to its precision, effectiveness, and quick healing time. Imagine your teeth are a beautiful photo, and your gums are the frame that surrounds that photo. Perfectly aligned teeth look even better when “framed” well!
Non-Surgical Laser Gum Contouring Method
Laser gum contouring is a non-surgical technique that utilizes advanced laser technology to reshape the gum line. Instead of manual instruments, a specialized dental laser gently removes excess gum tissue while simultaneously cauterizing the area to minimize bleeding and reduce the risk of infection. This advanced methodology often eliminates the need for anesthetic. Because the laser seals the tissue as it works, healing is quick, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime after your procedure.
Laser contouring provides high-quality results and reduces pain, swelling, and the risk of complications compared to traditional surgical methods. The results are immediate, meaning you can see an improved gum line right after your appointment.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Non-Surgical Gum Contouring?
An estimated 10% to 29% of the population has a gummy smile, with females more often than males citing excess gum tissue. However, not everyone needs gum contouring to achieve their ideal smile. You may be an ideal candidate for non-surgical gum contouring if:
- You have a gummy smile
- Your gumlines are uneven
- You have healthy gums and teeth, free of gum disease or other health issues
- You want a minimally invasive solution
While laser contouring can dramatically enhance your smile, it is important to have realistic expectations. Unfortunately, laser gum contouring can’t change the structure of your teeth, and you may require additional cosmetic treatments like veneers or teeth whitening to achieve your desired results. A trusted dentist can be a valuable resource in guiding you through the cosmetic dentistry process and helping create a treatment plan that addresses your specific smile goals.
