Details matter when it comes to achieving your best smile. In fact, there are many different things that make up your smile, and changing just one can make a huge impact.

Most people think of teeth whitening or fixing misalignment when they think of a smile makeover. However, one part of your smile you might not notice directly is proportion. The truth is, some people are unhappy with their smile and aren’t sure why – and it can come down to their gumline and the way it relates to their teeth. Sometimes, too much or too little visible gum can make your smile seem too “toothy” or “gummy” even if your teeth are otherwise straight and vibrant.
Gum contouring is one cosmetic procedure that can balance your smile’s look with some state-of-the-art techniques and technologies. It works by removing excess gum tissue or restoring receded gum tissue for a more proportional look to your smile. At Uno Dental, we can create a customized treatment plan for your smile makeover that addresses your unique concerns with comfortable, professional care. We’ll help you achieve your goals with a pampered experience and the expertise of our industry-leading cosmetic team in the San Francisco area.
Why Choose Gum Contouring at Uno Dental San Francisco?
Many people choose gum contouring because they dislike the shape or proportion of their gums in relation to their teeth. If you avoid smiling or try to smile a certain way because you feel self-conscious about your teeth or gums being visible, gum contouring can help adjust the look of your natural smile.
While some people naturally have a “gummy” or “toothy” smile, others experience changes because of gum disease. In either case, an experienced and board certified dentist can reshape your smile with a customized approach. When it comes to your gums, it’s important to choose a dentist with a knowledgeable plan, industry-leading tools and technologies, and an artistic eye for bringing out your best natural smile. When you meet with Dr. Kandar, we’ll create a customized treatment plan for you so you feel comfortable and relaxed. Our goal is a quality, pampered experience while your new smile emerges so you can enjoy your most confident self yet.
What Can I Expect During Gum Contouring Treatment?
Your gum contouring treatment plan will begin with a consultation with Dr. Kandar where you’ll discuss your goals for gum reshaping and whether you’re a good candidate. When it comes to gum contouring, it’s important to make sure your gums are healthy, cared for, and free of any active infection. Dr. Kandar will assess your gum health and take any necessary treatment steps to make sure your gums are in good shape for cosmetic reshaping.
Gum contouring can be performed in our luxurious San Francisco office.
