Welcome to Masterpiece Smiles in Austin, TX, where we offer gum contouring as a cosmetic solution to enhance the appearance of your smile.

Led by renowned dentist Dr. Joseph Schmidt, our team uses advanced technology to carefully sculpt your gums, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. This treatment not only improves the look of your smile but also boosts your self-confidence and can have oral health benefits by making it easier to clean your teeth and gums. Whether you’re concerned about excess gum tissue or an uneven gum line, gum contouring at Masterpiece Smiles can provide a quick and effective solution.
The Effects of a Gummy Smile
A gummy smile is characterized by an excessive display of gum tissue when smiling, which can affect the overall aesthetics of your smile. It can make your teeth appear shorter and disrupt the balance between your teeth and gums. This can lead to self-consciousness and reluctance to smile freely. Gum contouring is an effective solution to address a gummy smile, creating a more proportionate and visually appealing appearance.
Benefits of Gum Contouring
Gum contouring at Masterpiece Smiles offers several advantages beyond simply enhancing the aesthetics of your smile:
- Aesthetic Improvement: By reshaping and balancing the gum line, gum contouring significantly enhances the appearance of your smile, making it more symmetrical and visually appealing.
- Health Benefits: Removing excess gum tissue reduces areas where bacteria can accumulate, lowering the risk of gum disease and contributing to a healthier oral environment.
- Precision: Utilizing advanced laser technology, we can precisely target and remove unwanted gum tissue, ensuring accurate and optimal results.
- Confidence Boost: A well-proportioned smile can increase your self-confidence and overall satisfaction with your appearance.
As part of our comprehensive cosmetic dentistry services, gum contouring is a valuable solution for those looking to address issues with excessive gum tissue and achieve a more balanced and healthy smile.
Aftercare and Recovery
After your gum contouring procedure is done, ensuring proper aftercare and being diligent about recovery is crucial for your gums’ health and improved appearance.
Here are our recommendations:
- Gum Tissue Care: Refrain from touching the treated area to avoid infection and opt for soft foods for the initial few days to give the gum tissue time to heal.
- Aftercare Routine: Continue with regular brushing and flossing while being gentle around the treated area.
- Pain Management: Experiencing some discomfort is expected. Over-the-counter pain relievers should be sufficient to manage it.
- Follow-Up Visits: Make sure to attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for proper recovery monitoring and to achieve the best cosmetic outcomes.
