Reshape Your Smile's Frame
Gum Contouring:

Precision gum sculpting for a proportional smile.

The Procedure

A "gummy smile" or uneven gumline affects how your teeth appear, regardless of their actual size or shape. Gum contouring removes or reshapes excess tissue to expose more of the tooth surface and create a uniform, symmetrical gumline.

At DC Pearls, we use soft-tissue laser technology for this procedure. The laser seals tissue as it works, which means less bleeding, faster healing, and more precise control than traditional surgical methods.

Evaluation & Mapping

We examine your gumline and digitally map the ideal contour. You preview the planned reshaping before any work begins.

Laser Sculpting

Under local anesthesia, a soft-tissue laser precisely removes excess gum tissue. The laser cauterizes as it cuts, minimizing bleeding and eliminating the need for sutures.

Healing & Results

Results are visible immediately. The gumline settles into its final shape within 1 to 2 weeks. Most patients return to normal activity the next day.
