Gum contouring, sometimes called gum reshaping, is a cosmetic dental procedure that carefully removes or reshapes excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural teeth. For many patients, this treatment helps eliminate excess gum tissue, enhance the appearance of their smile, and promote better oral health.
At our Paramus office, Dr. Cassandra performs gum contouring using laser dentistry, which replaces traditional cutting and drilling with light energy for a cleaner, more comfortable experience. This precise, non-invasive approach allows for improved healing, less bleeding, and minimal swelling while delivering consistently beautiful outcomes.
Your Gums Deserve Some Love
Patients often notice an immediate boost in confidence after gum contouring. The procedure refines your smile and supports better gum and oral health.

Those bothered by uneven gums or a “gummy” smile may be great candidates for gum contouring. Ideal patients are those with good oral health, free of active gum disease or infection. Individuals with excess gum tissue that hides part of their teeth or creates an unbalanced smile line often see dramatic improvements after treatment.
Those undergoing gum disease treatment may also benefit from gum contouring once their gum tissue has healed, as it helps reduce deep pockets and supports long-term oral health. During your consultation, Dr. Cassandra will carefully evaluate your unique needs and go over the best treatment plan to achieve your goals.

You’ll go through your options, review potential results, and ask any questions you may have. Our team will also review your medical history to ensure you’re a good candidate for laser gum contouring.
No special preparation is usually needed, but maintaining good oral hygiene before your appointment (and in general) helps support healing and well-being.

Gum contouring is usually completed in a single visit and performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Dr. Cassandra uses advanced laser technology to gently reshape the gums, removing only the necessary tissue while preserving your natural structure.
