Gum contouring in Edmonton

Gum
Contouring.

Laser Gumline Sculpting

Balance Makes
the Difference.

Gum contouring — also known as gingivoplasty or gum reshaping — removes or repositions excess gum tissue to create a more even, proportionate gumline. It's most often used to treat a "gummy smile" or to correct unevenness that makes teeth appear different sizes.

Using laser technology, the procedure is precise, minimally invasive, and heals much faster than traditional surgical methods — with results visible immediately after treatment.

What We Address

Three Common
Concerns.

Gummy Smile

Excessive gum tissue makes teeth appear shorter — reshaping creates a more balanced proportion.

Uneven Gum Line

Variations in gum height between teeth create asymmetry — contouring creates uniformity.

Receding Gums

Gum tissue pulling away from teeth can be addressed to restore coverage and protect roots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is gum contouring painful?

Local anaesthesia ensures the procedure itself is pain-free. Mild soreness and swelling for a few days after is normal and manageable.

How long is recovery?

Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two, with full healing in 1–2 weeks.

Are the results permanent?

Yes. Once gum tissue is removed with laser contouring, it does not grow back.

Can gum contouring be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Gum contouring pairs well with porcelain veneers, composite bonding, or teeth whitening for a complete smile transformation.
