People with ‘gummy smiles’ often feel as though they have a large gum line, which consequently means their gums are excessively on display when they smile. This can cause people to feel insecure about their smile, which can affect their self esteem and daily interactions. ‘Gummy smiles’ can occur due to the shape and size of the teeth, the jaw position on the face, how the lips move when smiling, an excess of gum tissue, as well as several other factors.

 

Gum contouring is a solution to a large gum line and can significantly reduce the amount of gums that are displayed when a client smiles, which consequently leaves the client with a brand new smile they are proud to show off! We achieve this result by removing excess gum tissue in the mouth to refine and reshape the gums into a more proportionate aesthetic. This is often achieved in one session and the results are permanent.
