Gum contouring is a procedure used to correct conditions like a “gummy smile”, an uneven gumline, and short teeth.  More than not, the teeth are not too short but are covered by excess gum tissue, hiding a great smile.  By removing this excess tissue, more of the tooth becomes exposed.  This procedure is at times followed by restorative procedures such as veneers, crowns, and fillings.
