Cosmetic smile refinement with precision
At Jane Clair Dental, gum contouring near you begins with a consultation to evaluate your smile, gumline shape, and overall oral health. This treatment is often chosen by patients whose gums cover too much of their teeth or who want a more even gumline across the smile.
Treatment is usually completed with local anesthesia, and the gumline is carefully reshaped to expose more natural tooth structure where appropriate. In some cases, additional planning may be needed if bone levels or gum health affect the final result. Healing is typically straightforward, but following aftercare instructions is important for comfort and recovery.
