The Process of Gum Reshaping and Contouring
Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping, is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves removing excess gum tissue or reshaping the gumline to improve the appearance of your smile. This procedure is typically done using a soft tissue laser or a scalpel, depending on the extent of the gum tissue needing removal.
The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort, and the recovery time is relatively short. You may experience swelling and discomfort for a few days following the procedure, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
