Gum contouring at iSmile Dental Practice in Amsterdam

What is gum contouring?

It is a treatment in which the dentist gently reshapes the gums to make your teeth more visible and give your smile a more balanced look. It is often recommended when the gums cover too much of the teeth or are uneven.

As well as improving aesthetics, gum contouring also supports oral health. Having less excess gum tissue makes it easier to clean your teeth and reduces the risk of inflammation.

When is gum contouring necessary?

We recommend it if:

• Your teeth appear short or small due to excess gum tissue.
• Your gum line is uneven.
• You regularly suffer from gum inflammation.
• You feel self-conscious about your smile.

During an initial consultation, we will determine whether gum contouring is right for you. We will listen to your wishes and carefully assess what is medically appropriate. Rest assured that you won’t be pressured into making a decision; we will only recommend treatment if it is suitable for your teeth and overall health.

Does gum correction hurt?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. You won’t feel any pain during the procedure. Afterwards, your gums may feel slightly sensitive, like a sore spot in your mouth. This sensitivity usually goes away within a few days. Are you afraid of the dentist? Our experts have extensive experience in treating anxious patients and will talk you through each step calmly and clearly. You set the pace and remain in control. If you would like extra support, you can visit our dentist for anxious patients in Amsterdam.
