Gum Contouring

Gum Contouring
at Batista Smile Design

A gummy smile, where excessive gum tissue is displayed while smiling, can make teeth appear shorter and may be a cosmetic concern for many. Even if your teeth are of normal size, excessive gum tissue can create an imbalance. Gum contouring helps rectify this issue by removing and reshaping excess gum and bone tissue to expose more of your natural teeth. This procedure can be performed on a single tooth, multiple teeth, or the entire gum line. If you're concerned about a gummy smile or receding gums, contact us at Batista Smile Design in Miami Lakes, FL. Our renowned cosmetic surgeons can reshape your gum tissue and smooth out your gum line for a perfect smile.
