Reshape and Perfect Your Smile with Advanced Gum Contouring Techniques
The clinic offers expert gingivoplasty treatments, also known as gum contouring or gum reshaping, to help patients achieve beautifully balanced and healthy smiles. This minimally invasive cosmetic procedure enhances tooth visibility, corrects uneven gum lines, and improves the harmony of the smile through precise sculpting of the gum tissue.
Using advanced laser and microsurgical technology, Aesthetic Dental Clinic provides safe, effective, and virtually painless procedures. International patients choose this clinic for its high standards of dental care, modern equipment, and affordable pricing—often saving up to 70 % compared to similar treatments in the United States.
What is Gingivoplasty (Gum Contouring)?
Gingivoplasty is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to reshape the gums and enhance the overall balance and appearance of the teeth. It addresses issues such as excessively “gummy” smiles, uneven gum lines, receding gums, and areas that are difficult to clean properly.
This procedure is performed using advanced laser technology or precise surgical instruments to remove excess tissue and sculpt a natural-looking gum line.
This treatment helps:
✅ Improve the aesthetics of your smile
✅ Promote better oral hygiene by reducing plaque-prone areas
✅ Correct uneven or receding gums for a balanced appearance
✅ Enhance confidence by creating a more harmonious and attractive gum line
🦷 Types of Gingivoplasty Procedures
✔️ Laser Gingivoplasty – Uses advanced dental lasers for precision, minimal bleeding, and faster recovery.
✔️ Scalpel Gingivoplasty – Traditional manual sculpting for detailed reshaping of gum tissue.
✔️ Crown Lengthening – Combines gingivoplasty with removal of minimal bone tissue to expose more tooth surface, ideal before veneers or crowns.
✔️ Post-Periodontal Gingivoplasty – Performed after gum disease treatment to restore the natural contour and aesthetics of the gums.
Each technique is tailored to the patient’s condition, facial structure, and desired outcome.
🦷 Who Is a Good Candidate?
Candidates are evaluated through a detailed consultation that includes clinical assessment and digital imaging to plan the ideal gum contour.
✔️ Individuals with a gummy smile or excess gum covering the teeth
✔️ Patients with uneven or irregular gum lines
✔️ Those preparing for veneers, crowns, or smile makeovers
✔️ Individuals with healthy gums and good oral hygiene
✔️ People seeking aesthetic enhancement or balanced proportions
🩺Consultation and Preparation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation and evaluation. This includes:
✅ Comprehensive oral examination to evaluate gum health and identify areas needing correction.
✅ Digital imaging and X-rays to accurately plan precise reshaping of the gum line.
✅ Detailed discussion of cosmetic and functional goals to tailor the procedure.
✅ Personalized treatment planning, including the type of gingivoplasty and anesthesia options for comfort.
Every gingivoplasty procedure is customized according to the patient’s anatomy, ensuring natural-looking and symmetrical results.
🩺Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from gingivoplasty is usually quick and painless:
✔️ Mild tenderness or swelling may occur for 24–48 hours and typically resolves quickly.
✔️ A soft-food diet is recommended for one to two days post-procedure.
✔️ Gentle oral hygiene using a soft toothbrush and saline rinses promotes healing.
✔️ Most patients recover fully within 7–10 days, with immediate aesthetic improvements.
✔️ Follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and gum stability.
