Your smile is one of your most defining features, and balance plays a big role in how it looks. At Springs Dental, we offer gingival contouring—also known as gum reshaping—to create that perfect harmony between your gums and teeth. This simple, minimally invasive procedure can dramatically transform your smile, making it appear more even, proportionate, and naturally beautiful.
What Is Gingival Contouring?
Gingival contouring, or gum sculpting, is the process of reshaping the gumline to enhance the overall appearance of your smile. For many people, excess gum tissue can cause what’s often called a “gummy smile,” where too much of the gums show and the teeth look shorter than they really are. By carefully removing and reshaping small areas of gum tissue, your dentist can reveal more of your natural tooth structure and create a more symmetrical, attractive gumline.
While gingival contouring is often considered a cosmetic procedure, it can also have restorative benefits. For instance, when a tooth needs a crown or other restoration, gum contouring may be performed to expose more of the tooth’s surface for a precise, secure fit.
The Benefits of Gum Reshaping
Gingival contouring offers several advantages beyond its aesthetic appeal. Because it’s a minimally invasive procedure, patients typically experience little discomfort and enjoy quick healing times. The results are immediate—a balanced, radiant smile that looks more refined and confident.
This treatment can also help patients with uneven gumlines or short-looking teeth achieve a more natural appearance. In some cases, gingival contouring can improve gum health by removing excess tissue that may trap bacteria, reducing the risk of gum disease and inflammation.
A Personalized Approach to Smile Design
At Springs Dental, we take a customized approach to every smile transformation. During your consultation, our dental team evaluates your gum and tooth proportions to design a gumline that complements your facial features.

Whether you’re preparing for a restorative procedure like crowns or simply want to enhance your smile’s appearance, gingival contouring can be the finishing touch that makes your teeth look longer, brighter, and perfectly balanced.
