Gum contouring surgery is an aesthetic dental procedure that involves trimming, reshaping, or regenerating gum tissue to create a more harmonious balance between the teeth and gums. This results in a balanced, natural, and beautiful smile. This procedure is commonly applied when the gums are excessively thick, misaligned, or in cases of a ‘gummy smile’.
