Uncover a Healthy Smile by Reshaping Your Gumline
An even, healthy-looking gumline is part of what makes a smile look beautiful. Whether you’ve dealt with gum disease or simply have a “gummy smile,” this simple contouring procedure will eliminate the excess gum tissue to give you a better smile. We use a combination of lasers as well as more traditional techniques to remove the excess or infected gum tissue. Once this tissue is gone, we’ll gently reshape it so it has a more even appearance.
We may recommend this procedure if:
- You’ve recovered from a gum infection and want to even out your gumline. This may be part of a gum recession treatment if you have areas of your mouth with gum loss.
- Your braces have been removed and you have noticeably uneven gum tissue.
- You have an obvious gummy smile and you want a more balanced tooth-to-gum ratio
- You need to create more dental surface for crowns or veneers
We’ll numb your gums with local anesthesia to ensure the treatment is as smooth as possible. Plus we have sedation if you need help relaxing or are worried about discomfort. You can also block out the sounds of the dentist with headphones to listen to music or watch TV.

Common Questions About Gum Reshaping / Gummy Smile Treatment
If too much of your gums show when you smile, you have what’s known as a gummy smile. Gum reshaping removes excess gum tissue to even out your teeth-to-gum ratio. Treatment can usually be completed in just one visit using a special, low-power dental laser as well as more traditional techniques, depending on what’s needed for you. You can leave our office with your new smile and new confidence to go along with it.
We do everything we can to make this treatment (and our other treatments) as pain-free as they can be. We offer local anesthetic along with three levels of dental sedation to block pain during your procedure. We’ll also advise you on what to do as you recover so you have as little discomfort as possible.
Gum reshaping treatment can vary in price, depending on the level of complexity and the extent of the treatment. We would need to examine your mouth first and possibly take a set of X-rays before we could give you a price. Once we have a treatment plan in mind, we can give you specific details on the cost of your individual treatment. We have a membership plan you can join to save on your care, as well as third-party financing options.
