Gum contouring can transform your smile

Gum contouring is a surgical procedure that can transform the appearance of your smile. The procedure, which is carried out at most dentists’ offices, reshapes the gum line with lasers or scalpels. It painlessly removes excess gum tissue to expose more tooth structure. The results are immediate and dentists generally don't see any long-term adverse effects. Gum contouring can also correct receding gum tissue.
