Reshaping Your Gum Line
A beautiful smile isnt only about your teeth—its also about the balance of your gums. At Tatum Point Dentistry, we offer gum recontouring (also known as crown lengthening) to reshape uneven gum lines or reduce excess gum tissue.
This treatment is ideal for patients with a gummy smile or teeth that appear too short. Using precise techniques, we gently sculpt the gums to create a more natural, symmetrical frame around your teeth.
Balanced & Confident Smile
The result is a balanced and more attractive smile that boosts both appearance and confidence. Gum recontouring can also improve oral health by making it easier to clean around the gumline, reducing the risk of gum disease.
Many patients are surprised at how much of a difference reshaping the gum line can make. Even a small adjustment can dramatically transform the overall look of your smile.
The Procedure
Gum recontouring is typically performed using advanced laser technology or precise surgical instruments. The procedure is done under local anesthesia for your comfort. Dr. Gonzalez carefully removes or reshapes excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth structure.
Most procedures take about one to two hours depending on the extent of reshaping needed. Recovery is quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within a day or two.
Recovery & Results
After your gum recontouring procedure, you may experience mild sensitivity and swelling for a few days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and may prescribe a gentle mouth rinse to promote healing.
Results are visible immediately, though full healing takes a few weeks. Once healed, your new gum line is permanent, giving you a more proportionate and beautiful smile that youll love to show off.
