Gum Contouring in Foothill Ranch, CA
What is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring is a cosmetic dental procedure that reshapes the gumline to improve the proportion and symmetry of your smile. Using a soft tissue laser, Dr. Irvani gently removes or sculpts excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth surface, creating a more even and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Whether you have a “gummy smile,” an uneven gumline, or gum tissue that makes your teeth appear too short, this minimally invasive treatment can make a dramatic difference with minimal downtime.

Final Review
Is Gum Contouring Right for Me?
- Gummy Smile: If excess gum tissue makes your teeth appear shorter than they are, contouring can expose more of the tooth surface and create a more proportionate smile.
- Uneven Gumline: Asymmetrical gum tissue can make an otherwise healthy smile look unbalanced, and contouring corrects this with precision.
- Small or Short-Looking Teeth: When gum tissue covers too much of the tooth crown, your teeth may look disproportionately small even when they are perfectly healthy.
- Pre-Cosmetic Smile Prep: Gum contouring is often performed before veneers or other cosmetic work to ensure the gumline frames each restoration evenly.
- Increased Self-Consciousness: If you feel hesitant to smile openly because of your gumline, this simple, lasting procedure can restore your confidence.
