What is gum contouring?
Gum contouring reshapes an uneven or excessive gum line to make your smile look more balanced — ideal if you feel your smile is "gummy", or your teeth look short or uneven because of the gums. At SmilePath Dental in Mansarovar, Jaipur, our dentist gently and precisely removes or reshapes the excess gum tissue, often in a single visit, to reveal more of your natural teeth and give you a more even, confident smile. Pricing is transparent with easy EMI options, and you'll get an exact quote at your free consultation.
What to expect
We start by looking at your smile and gum line together and planning the shape that will suit your face and teeth. We numb the area so you're comfortable, then precisely reshape or remove the excess gum tissue to even out your gum line and show more of your natural teeth.
Most cases are done in a single visit. There's a short healing period of a few days, and the result is a more balanced, confident smile. Gum contouring also pairs beautifully with veneers or whitening as part of a smile makeover.
Who it's for
Gum contouring is for anyone in Jaipur who feels their smile shows too much gum, has an uneven or asymmetric gum line, or whose teeth look short because the gums cover too much of them. It's also a popular finishing touch before veneers or a full smile makeover.
