Your Southwest Calgary Choice for gum contouring!

Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping, is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to improve the appearance of your smile by addressing excess gum tissue. At Woodlands Dental, we understand that a balanced smile is not only about the teeth but also about the gums that frame them. Our skilled dental team is here to help you achieve the aesthetically pleasing smile that you have always dreamed of, with gum contouring!

The Process of Gum Contouring

The gum contouring process, performed by a dental professional, reshapes or resculpt your gumline. The process begins with a thorough consultation, where we discuss your goals and evaluate your gum health. Woodlands Dental is committed to using advanced techniques to ensure that the procedure is as comfortable as possible. Local anesthesia is typically administered to minimize any discomfort during the reshaping process. Using precise tools, we gently remove excess gum tissue around your teeth and sculpt the gum line to achieve the desired results. Gum contouring can result in a more proportionate smile, where the teeth are more prominent and the gums are less noticeable!

Recovery and Aftercare Following Gum Contouring

Recovery from gum contouring is generally quick, with most patients experiencing only mild swelling or sensitivity for a few days. It is important to follow our post procedure care instructions to promote healing and maintain optimal oral hygiene.
