Gum Contouring

Teeth should be the focal point of your smile. Healthy, balanced gums are the picture frame that brings symmetry to your smile! Dr. James Miller is a general dentist providing Portland area cosmetic dentistry, to gums as well as teeth.

When gums are irregular, it can detract from the allure of your smile. Gum revision contouring is a procedure that can shape gums into more pleasing lines, balancing your smile. This removes the appearance of a gummy smile and properly displays the teeth for your most beautiful smile. A smile that displays too much gum can make teeth appear squared, or short, when in fact it’s the gums that are disproportionate.

Dr. Miller corrects asymmetrical gum lines with a surgical procedure. The procedure results in almost no pain or swelling, but some mild discomfort can be expected a day or two after the procedure. Sometimes the Portland area cosmetic dentistry procedure of gum contouring is performed in conjunction with a restoration like a crown or porcelain veneers, to achieve the most attractive result.

Come see how a beautiful, balanced, and symmetrical smile can lift your confidence. Many of our patients from Portland, Hillsboro, Beaverton, and from out of state find that this cosmetic dentistry procedure brings dramatic improvements to both their smiles and their state of mind.
