When it comes to achieving a beautiful smile, most people focus on teeth whitening, veneers, or orthodontics. But your gums play just as important a role in the overall appearance of your smile. If your gums are uneven, cover too much of your teeth, or have receded due to health issues, cosmetic gum surgery—also called gum contouring—can help. This procedure reshapes the gum line for a more balanced, attractive, and confident smile.

Why Consider Cosmetic Gum Surgery?

Gum contouring is often chosen by patients who feel self-conscious about having a “gummy” smile, where excess gum tissue makes teeth appear smaller than they are. It can also be used to correct an uneven gum line or to restore gum tissue that has receded. Beyond the cosmetic benefits, gum surgery may also improve oral health by making it easier to keep gums clean and prevent gum disease.

How the Procedure Works

Cosmetic gum surgery is typically performed in a dental office under local anesthesia. Using advanced techniques, your dentist carefully removes or reshapes gum tissue to create a natural, symmetrical look. In some cases, a laser is used, which can minimize discomfort and reduce healing time. Most patients experience only mild soreness afterward and can return to their normal activities within a day or two.

Benefits of Gum Contouring

  • Enhanced appearance – A balanced gum-to-tooth ratio creates a more harmonious smile.
  • Improved oral health – Removing excess tissue reduces areas where bacteria can accumulate.
  • Lasting results – Once reshaped, gums generally do not grow back, making this a permanent solution.
  • Confidence boost – Many patients report feeling more confident when speaking, smiling, and laughing.

Cost Considerations

The cost of cosmetic gum surgery varies depending on the extent of treatment. According to Healthline, the procedure typically ranges from $50 to $350 per tooth, and up to $3,000 for a full smile. Because gum contouring is often considered cosmetic, dental insurance usually does not cover it unless it is performed for medical reasons (such as treating gum disease). Your dentist can provide a personalized estimate during your consultation.
