Gum Recontouring in West New York, NJ | Reshape Your Smile

What Is Gum Recontouring?

Gum recontouring (also known as gum reshaping or gingival sculpting) is a cosmetic procedure that adjusts your gumline for balance and beauty. Using soft-tissue lasers or surgical techniques, we:

• Remove excess gum tissue

• Create symmetry across multiple teeth

• Reveal more natural tooth structure

• Reshape irregular or slanted gumlines

• Treat recession or prepare for cosmetic restorations

“The recontouring changed everything. I smile with confidence now.” – Eliza C

Causes of Gum Imbalance

• Genetics (naturally high or low gumlines)

• Orthodontic changes

• Medications that cause overgrowth

• Gum disease aftereffects

• Aggressive brushing or bruxism

Our Gum Recontouring Process

1. Consultation & Smile Analysis

We use digital imaging and facial analysis to evaluate symmetry and plan your ideal gumline.

2. Treatment Planning

We’ll determine if you need:

• Excess gum removal

• Even the reshaping of multiple teeth

• Gum height adjustments

• Recession correction or tissue repositioning

3. Laser or Traditional Treatment

Most procedures are done with a soft-tissue laser for precision, minimal bleeding, and fast healing. Local anesthesia ensures your comfort.

4. Healing & Follow-Up

Healing typically takes 3–7 days with mild soreness. Results are immediate and continue refining as you heal.

“I was nervous, but the laser made it fast and painless. My gums look amazing.” – Jordan N
