Gummy Smile Treatment | Gum Contouring

What is a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile is when excess gum tissue is apparent when a person smiles. Gummy smiles are very common, and through gum contouring treatment, we can help reveal an aesthetically pleasing smile.

Many people with gummy smiles are unaware of the treatments available to cosmetically enhance the look of their gums.

Those affected by high gum lines are often self-conscious and reluctant to show their true smile. Our goal is to help our patients look and feel more confident through procedures, such as gummy smile contouring.

At Dawson Dental , we’re here to help you feel confident showing your smile. Our dentists can assess your gumline and recommend cosmetic enhancements tailored to your goals.

Gummy Smile

What is gum contouring?

Gum contouring (also known as gummy smile correction) involves gently removing excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth structure. This treatment is often recommended for:

Teeth that appear short or uneven
Inflamed or puffy gums
Irregular gum ridges or grooves

Gum contouring is often completed in conjunction with porcelain dental veneers for a smile transformation.

With the addition of porcelain veneers, your gummy smile disappears, revealing a bright, youthful smile that looks natural and proportioned. The entire process takes just a few visits.

If you are somewhat apprehensive about visiting the dentist, we offer dental sedation options for your level of anxiety.
