Gum Contouring
A cosmetic dental procedure designed to reshape the gums and enhance the balance of your smile.
What is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring is a cosmetic dental treatment that focuses on reshaping excess, uneven, or overgrown gum tissue to create a more balanced and harmonious smile. It is commonly used to correct a “gummy smile” or to improve the proportions between teeth and gums, enhancing overall facial aesthetics.
How does Gum Contouring work?
The procedure is performed using advanced dental tools or laser technology to precisely reshape the gum line. It is minimally invasive, usually completed in a single visit, and designed to deliver immediate aesthetic improvements with minimal discomfort and quick recovery time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about dental tourism in Albania
Does gum contouring hurt?
Your provider will give you local anaesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel anything during the procedure. Like any surgical treatment, it’s normal to feel some degree of discomfort after your appointment. Your provider will recommend medications to help ease these side effects during your recovery.
Is gum contouring permanent?
In most cases, gum contouring yields permanent results. But rarely, gum tissue can regrow. This usually happens if your provider didn’t remove enough extra bone underneath your gums during surgery. If you have questions about gum contouring results, talk to your healthcare provider.
Is it safe to contour your gums?
Gum contouring is a very safe procedure if a qualified provider does it. Keep in mind, though — some people qualify for this procedure, while others may not. Even if you qualify, you may need treatments in addition to gum contouring, like veneers or crowns.
Most importantly, you should never have gum contouring or any other cosmetic dental procedure if you have existing decay or gum disease. To learn more about your treatment options, schedule a consultation with a dental provider.
