Gum contouring is a simple dental treatment that reshapes the gum line around your teeth. Some people have gums that cover too much of their teeth, making their smile look “gummy.” Others have gums that sit too high, making teeth look longer than normal. At Emerald View Dental in North York, we gently reshape your gums so your smile looks balanced, natural, and healthy.
We recommend gum contouring when the shape or size of your gums is affecting the way your smile looks or feels.
If your gums cover too much of your teeth when you smile, gum contouring can reveal more of your teeth and give you a fuller, more balanced look.
If one side of your gum line sits higher or lower than the other, we can reshape it so both sides match and your smile looks even.
If your teeth appear short or small because of extra gum tissue covering them, gum contouring can expose more of your natural tooth and improve the overall look of your smile.
If your gums have changed shape due to an injury or gum disease, contouring can help restore a healthier and more natural looking gum line.
Gum reshaping helps your teeth and gums look even and proportional, giving your whole smile a cleaner and more attractive appearance.
When excess gum tissue is removed, it becomes easier to brush and clean around your teeth properly, which helps keep your gums healthy long term.
Gum contouring is a permanent treatment, which means once your gums are reshaped, you get to enjoy your new smile without needing repeat visits for the same concern.
When you feel good about your smile, it shows. Many of our patients at Emerald View Dental tell us they feel much more confident smiling, laughing, and speaking after their treatment.
When you first come in to see us at Emerald View Dental, we take the time to look at your gum line and talk about what you want your smile to look like. We will show you what is possible and create a simple plan that fits your needs. There are no surprises, just a clear and honest conversation about your treatment.
Before we begin, we apply a local anesthetic to make sure you are completely comfortable throughout the procedure. You will feel little to no discomfort during the treatment. Our team always makes sure you feel safe and relaxed before we do anything.
After your gum contouring treatment at Emerald View Dental, a little bit of care at home goes a long way. Most patients heal comfortably within a few days to two weeks, and following these simple tips will help you recover quickly and keep your new smile looking its best.
| Do’s | Don’ts |
|---|---|
| Eat soft foods like yogurt, soup, and mashed potatoes for the first few days | Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods that can irritate your gums |
| Rinse gently with warm salt water to keep the area clean | Do not brush directly on the treated area right after the procedure |
| Take any pain relief medication your dentist recommends | Avoid smoking or using tobacco products during healing |
| Keep your follow up appointment at our North York clinic | Do not skip your follow up even if you feel completely fine |
| Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated | Avoid drinking through a straw for the first couple of days |
| Rest and give your body time to heal naturally | Do not push through pain without letting us know |
