Does an uneven gum line or excess gum tissue make you feel self-conscious about your smile?
Gum contouring may be the solution.
Gum contouring is a precise cosmetic procedure that reshapes your gum line to improve the balance and appearance of your smile. Discover how Dr. Damien Armstrong can help you achieve a more confident, beautiful smile at The Mint Dental.
Gum contouring is a minimally invasive cosmetic dental procedure designed to reshape and redefine your gum line. Whether you have a “gummy smile” or uneven gum tissue, Dr. Damien Armstrong uses advanced techniques to sculpt your gums for a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing result.
Every gum contouring treatment is tailored to your unique smile, facial features, and oral health. The result is a natural-looking gum line that frames your teeth beautifully and boosts your confidence.
An uneven gum line can result from genetics, certain medications, or improper tooth eruption during development. In some cases, gum disease or teeth grinding can also affect the shape and position of your gum tissue.
Gum contouring is typically completed in a single visit at The Mint Dental. Depending on the extent of reshaping needed, the procedure generally takes between one and two hours, so you can walk out with a more balanced smile the same day.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel discomfort during treatment. Some mild soreness and swelling are normal in the days following, but most patients find recovery very manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
In most cases, gum contouring results are permanent. Once the gum tissue is reshaped, it does not grow back. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular cleanings at The Mint Dental will help preserve your results long-term.
If you’re bothered by a gummy smile, uneven gum line, or excess gum tissue, you may be a great candidate. Dr. Damien Armstrong will evaluate your oral health during a consultation at The Mint Dental to determine the best treatment plan for your smile goals.
