Gum contouring, also referred to as gum reshaping or tissue sculpting, can even out a gum line that rests too low or too high on your teeth.
Gum contouring is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and is used to improve the appearance of a smile. However, some people may undergo gum contouring surgery as part of a necessary periodontal procedure, such as crown lengthening, pocket reduction and regenerative procedures.
