What is gum contouring, and who is it for?

Gum contouring (gingivectomy) reshapes the level and line of the gums so they sit in proportion with the teeth. It is often used for a gummy smile, or gums that cover so much of the tooth that teeth look short and uneven. It can be done with a laser or minor surgery depending on your gums.

The dentist always checks the cause first, because a gummy smile can come from several factors — gum level, bone structure or the lip muscle. Some cases may need another approach as well, such as braces — we'll explain the right option before you decide.

Who it's for

✓A gummy smile caused by the gum level

✓Gums that cover too much tooth, making teeth look short

✓An uneven gum line that makes the smile look asymmetric

✓Want to reshape the gum line before veneers or crowns

Frequently asked questions

Does gum contouring hurt? How long to heal?

It is done under local anaesthetic so there is no pain during the procedure. Afterwards you may feel some tightness or sensitivity that eases within a few days, with aftercare guidance from your dentist.

Will the gum grow back?

When done for the right indication, results usually last long-term. In some cases with thick gums or other factors, extra care may be needed — the dentist assesses and explains before treatment.

How much does gum contouring cost?

From 5,000–8,000 THB per tooth. The actual cost depends on the number of teeth and how complex the case is. 0% instalments are available up to 10 months.

Does gum contouring help every gummy smile?

Not always, because a gummy smile can come from several causes — gum level, bone structure or the lip muscle. Some cases need another approach as well, such as braces. The dentist assesses and recommends what suits you.

What is gum contouring?

Gum contouring reshapes the gum line so it is balanced and in proportion with the teeth. It is often done for people whose smile shows a lot of gum (a gummy smile) or an uneven gum line, to make the teeth look well-shaped and the smile more even.

Why does a smile show a lot of gum?

It can come from gum covering more of the tooth than usual, an upper lip that lifts high when smiling, the size or eruption of the teeth, or several factors together. The dentist checks the cause before choosing the right approach.

The laser gum-contouring procedure

The dentist reshapes the gum line with a laser under local anaesthetic, setting a balanced gum shape. The laser keeps the area small with little bleeding; some cases involving bone may also need bone adjustment.

Does it hurt? How long is recovery?

It is done under local anaesthetic, so it is painless during the procedure. Afterwards there may be brief tightness or sensitivity that eases with the aftercare advice, and most people return to normal life as usual.

Gum contouring with smile design

Many cases combine gum contouring with veneers or crowns to design the whole smile so the gums and teeth are in proportion together. The dentist plans it around each individual smile.
