Gum Contouring & Depigmentation
Even out a gummy smile or dark gums.
Reshapes uneven gum lines and lightens dark gums for a balanced, brighter smile.
A "gummy" smile or an uneven gum line can make teeth look short or uneven. Dark patches on gums can affect confidence too.
Modern techniques allow careful reshaping and lightening of gum tissue with good healing. We check that the procedure is right for you before recommending it.

Common questions
Is it painful?
The area is numbed, so you feel no pain during the procedure. Mild soreness afterwards is normal.
Will dark gums return?
Pigmentation may recur slowly in some people; touch-ups are possible.
Is it permanent?
Reshaping is long-lasting; gum health still needs regular care.
