Gum Grafts & Contouring
Restore protection and balance to your gumline for a smile that looks and feels right.
About Gum Grafts & Contouring
Your gums frame your smile and protect your teeth. When they recede, teeth can become sensitive and look longer; when the gumline is uneven, a smile can look 'gummy' or unbalanced.
Gum grafting gently restores tissue to areas of recession, covering exposed roots, reducing sensitivity, and protecting against further loss. Gum contouring reshapes an uneven or excessive gumline to reveal a more even, attractive smile.
Modern techniques are more comfortable than many people expect, and we'll explain exactly what to anticipate before, during, and after your procedure.
