Gum Contouring
in Northeast Brampton
Gum contouring reshapes the gum line to create a more balanced, proportionate smile. At Gardenbrooke Dental in Northeast Brampton, we use a dental laser for most contouring, so treatment is typically completed in a single appointment with less bleeding and faster healing.
What Is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring removes excess gum tissue to reshape your gum line. It can correct a gummy smile, even out uneven gums and make short-looking teeth appear more proportionate. It is often combined with veneers for a complete smile makeover.
Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions
Is gum contouring painful?
It is done under local anaesthesia so you will not feel pain during treatment. Some tenderness and mild swelling afterward are normal and managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long do gum contouring results last?
Results are generally permanent because gum tissue removed by laser does not grow back. Good oral hygiene and gum health care help protect them.
Can gum contouring fully correct a gummy smile?
For many patients, yes. If excess gum display is also related to bone position or lip anatomy, we will discuss additional options.
How long does the procedure take?
For most patients it is completed in a single appointment.
How much does gum contouring cost?
Single-area reshaping starts from $500. We will confirm your cost before treatment.
