Gum Contouring at Wins Dental, Jamsil Seoul

Wins Dental proudly serves patients from Gangnam, Jamsil, and Songpa, welcoming visitors from across the greater Seoul area.

A balanced gumline makes teeth look longer, more even, and naturally attractive. At Wins Dental (Jamsil, Seoul), gum contouring (gingival reshaping) refines excess or uneven gum tissue to reveal a more symmetrical smile—often in a single, comfortable visit.

What Is Gum Contouring?

Gum contouring gently reshapes the gingiva to correct a “gummy” smile, uneven heights, or bulky tissue around select teeth. The goal is a harmonious tooth-to-gum ratio that frames your smile without altering healthy tooth structure.

Who Is It For?

  • “Gummy” smile or short-looking teeth
  • Uneven gum heights between neighboring teeth
  • Thick or inflamed-looking margins that hide enamel
  • Final finishing step with veneers, crowns, or orthodontics

Our Approach: Precision & Comfort

  • Digital smile planning to map ideal gum levels
  • Laser contouring for most cases (reduced bleeding and faster healing)
  • Conservative sculpting that preserves healthy tissue
  • Local anesthesia and gentle technique for comfort

Laser vs. Scalpel—What We Use and Why

  • Laser: Precise, cauterizes as it reshapes, minimal bleeding, quicker recovery
  • Scalpel: Used selectively for specific anatomies or when a flap is required
    Your dentist will choose the method that achieves the cleanest, most stable result.

Treatment Steps

  1. Assessment & Photos – Evaluate tooth length, smile line, and gum health
  2. Smile Design – Mark ideal margins; discuss what will change (and what won’t)
  3. Numbing & Contouring – Laser or scalpel reshaping with meticulous symmetry checks
  4. Polish & Rinse – Smooth tissue edges for clean, natural contours
  5. Review & Aftercare – Instructions, healing timeline, and optional follow-up

Most cosmetic contouring sessions take 30–60 minutes depending on the number of teeth.

Recovery & Aftercare

  • Mild tenderness for 24–72 hours is common
  • Brush gently along the gumline; avoid hard/spicy foods briefly
  • Rinse with lukewarm saltwater as directed
  • Over-the-counter pain relief if needed
  • Follow-up if combining with veneers/crowns for final margin checks

Benefits You’ll Notice

  • Longer, more even-looking teeth
  • Improved symmetry across the smile line
  • Cleaner margins that are easier to keep healthy
  • Often one-visit cosmetic enhancement with minimal downtime

Risks & Safety

Gum contouring is conservative and safe when gums are healthy. Active gum disease or inadequate attached gingiva may require periodontal therapy first. We screen carefully to ensure stability and long-term success.

FAQs

Will my teeth be shaved?
No. Gum contouring focuses on soft tissue, not enamel. (Enamel work is only done if combining with veneers/crowns.)

Is the result permanent?
Tissue usually maintains its new contour. Good hygiene and stable bite help preserve the outcome.

Can I pair this with whitening or veneers?
Yes—contouring often precedes veneers/whitening to set ideal proportions first.
