Gum Contouring in Fort Worth, TX

Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or tissue sculpting, is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to improve the shape and proportion of your gums. If you feel your smile looks “gummy” or if your gums appear uneven or cover too much of your teeth, gum contouring can create a more symmetrical, balanced smile.

At Smile Makers Family and Cosmetic Dentistry in Fort Worth, we use advanced techniques, including laser dentistry, to gently and precisely reshape the gum line. This procedure is ideal for patients looking to enhance the aesthetics of their smile without invasive surgery.

Benefits of Gum Contouring

Gum contouring is a minimally invasive treatment that offers both cosmetic and oral health benefits:

• Creates a balanced gum-to-tooth ratio for a more attractive smile
  
• Reduces the appearance of a “gummy smile”
  
• Corrects uneven or irregular gum lines
  
• Boosts confidence and enhances overall facial aesthetics
  

May improve oral health by making it easier to maintain clean gum margins

Gum contouring is typically recommended for patients who:

• Feel their teeth appear too short due to excessive gum coverage
  
• Have an asymmetrical gum line that affects their smile’s symmetry
  
• Have undergone orthodontic treatments like Invisalign and want to complete their transformation
  
• Are planning a comprehensive smile makeover
  

Dr. Caitlin Flosi will conduct a detailed cosmetic evaluation to determine if gum contouring is right for you. She tailors every treatment to complement your facial features and natural tooth structure.
