Make a Lasting Difference

Cosmetic gum procedures are about more than appearances. A gum treatment creates balance, comfort, and confidence in your smile. With expert planning and gentle techniques, even a subtle reshaping can transform the way your smile looks. You'll appreciate:

  • Improved Smile Balance - Reshaping your gumline helps create symmetry between your teeth and gums.
  • Reduced "Gummy" Smile - Gum surgery can reveal more of your natural tooth surface. People will focus on your teeth, not your gums, when you smile.
  • Enhanced Cosmetic Results - You can combine gum contouring with veneers or crowns for a more dramatic transformation.
  • Minimally invasive Options - If you are a candidate for the Pinhole Surgical Technique, you may not need incisions or sutures to repair gum recession. You'll enjoy faster healing and minimal discomfort.

Whether you're preparing for a special occasion or just want to love your smile more, you'll appreciate the impact of a smoother gumline.

Discover Your Cosmetic Gum Solutions

We provide two cosmetic gum procedures. Your periodontist recommends them based on your gum health and cosmetic goals. Your options include:

  • Gingivectomy - This traditional technique gently removes excess gum tissue. It creates a balance between your teeth and gums and can reduce a "gummy" smile. The procedure is quick, precise, and performed under local anesthesia.
  • Pinhole Surgical Technique - This minimally invasive method is used to reposition receded gums without incisions or sutures. Your periodontist will reposition your gum tissue into a more natural position. For more extreme recession, we may recommend a gum graft instead.

Common Questions About
Cosmetic Gum Surgery

Is cosmetic gum surgery painful?

Not at all. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel discomfort during treatment. We also offer laughing gas for patients who want extra relaxation. After surgery, most patients experience only mild tenderness or swelling, which typically fades within a few days. For minimally invasive techniques like the Pinhole Surgical Technique, recovery is often even quicker and easier.

How do I know if I’m a candidate for cosmetic gum surgery?

If you have an uneven gumline, a "gummy" smile, or gum recession that affects your appearance, you may be a great candidate. We'll assess your gum health and discuss your smile goals to recommend the most appropriate treatment. Whether you're looking for subtle refinement or a major aesthetic improvement, we'll tailor the approach to your needs.

Will cosmetic gum surgery change how my smile looks?

Yes, in the best way. Gum contouring can dramatically improve how your teeth and gums appear together. By creating a more balanced gumline, we help your teeth look longer, straighter, and more proportionate. The change is subtle but powerful, and it can make a huge difference in how confident you feel when you smile.
