Gum contouring is a cosmetic dental procedure that reshapes the gum line to improve the appearance of a patient’s smile. It can be used to correct an uneven gum line, reduce the appearance of a “gummy” smile, or create a more aesthetically pleasing smile. Gum contouring is a relatively quick and painless procedure that can be completed in one visit to the dentist.
At Southwest Dental Center, Dr. Rita George is a highly experienced and skilled dentist who specializes in gum contouring. By reshaping the gums, Dr. Rita George can create a beautiful, symmetrical smile that will last for years. The procedure is done using a laser, which is precise and minimally invasive. With this advanced technology, Dr. Rita George can create the perfect smile with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Gum contouring offers numerous cosmetic and functional benefits, such as:
Enhanced Smile Aesthetics: By shaping the gums, we can balance the size and shape of your teeth, making them appear more even and natural.
Longer-appearing Teeth: If excess gum tissue is covering your teeth, gum contouring can reveal more of your tooth surface, making your smile look longer and more proportionate.
Easier Oral Hygiene: By eliminating excess gum tissue, it becomes easier to maintain your oral hygiene and reduce the risk of gum disease.
Quick and Painless: The procedure is fast, and with modern laser technology, there is minimal discomfort and no need for lengthy recovery time.
Gum contouring is a precise and efficient procedure that can reshape your gums to create a more harmonious smile. Dr. Rita George will use a laser to remove any excess gum tissue, carefully sculpting your gum line to the desired shape. The procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia, ensuring that you are comfortable throughout the process.
Laser technology offers several advantages, including reduced risk of bleeding and faster healing times. Most patients can see immediate results, with a natural, symmetrical gum line that complements their smile.
After your gum contouring procedure, it’s essential to follow Dr. Rita George’s aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. This includes:
Avoiding vigorous physical activity and brushing or flossing around the treated area for at least 24 hours.
Steer clear of drinking through straws, eating crunchy or hard foods, and smoking for the first few days.
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day to reduce inflammation and prevent infection.
Dr. Rita George may also prescribe an antibiotic mouth rinse or ointment to help speed healing and reduce any risks.
The results of gum contouring are immediate and can last for many years. After the procedure, your gum line will appear more even, your teeth will look longer, and your smile will have a more balanced and attractive aesthetic. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and the recovery period is short.

Couldn't be happier. The staff was incredibly friendly. I broke a tooth, needed extracting,called in, and got very lucky with timing. In no time, they had me in and and out. I'm not a fan of dental work, but we were cracking jokes the entire time and we're very comforting. For the first time in years, I haven't had tooth pain, and I couldn't recommend them more. joan bowersApril 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
