Gum Contouring in Vancouver, BC

Balance between teeth and gums plays a key role in how a smile looks and feels. Gum contouring helps improve proportions by reshaping excess or uneven gum tissue for a healthier, more balanced appearance.

REDESIGN YOUR SMILE

A confident smile is not only about teeth. When too much gum tissue shows, or gum levels are uneven, teeth can appear shorter or disproportionate. Laser gum contouring is a conservative way to improve smile balance while supporting long term gum health.

SCULPTING YOUR SMILE

Balanced PROPORTIONS

Gum contouring uses modern laser technology to gently reshape gum tissue with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime. Treatment is precise, conservative, and often completed in a single visit with immediate improvement.

In many cases, concerns about “small teeth” are actually related to excess gum coverage rather than tooth size. By carefully recontouring the gums, more natural tooth proportions are revealed while preserving healthy tissue.

When Specialist Care Is Needed

Every case is carefully assessed. If advanced periodontal treatment or surgical care is required, coordinated referral to a trusted specialist is arranged to ensure optimal outcomes and long term gum stability.

Is Gum Contouring Right For You?

Gum contouring may be recommended if you experience:

  • Excess gum display when smiling
  • Uneven gum lines
  • A “gummy” smile appearance
  • Teeth that appear short despite being healthy

A comprehensive evaluation helps determine the most appropriate and conservative approach for your needs.
