Do you have a gummy smile or uneven gum lines that affect your confidence? Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping, is a cosmetic dental procedure that sculpts and reshapes your gums for a more balanced, symmetrical, and attractive smile. At Sleep Dentistry, we offer advanced gum contouring in Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA, for precise aesthetic results.
Gum contouring is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that removes excess gum tissue or reshapes uneven gums to improve the appearance of your smile. Using advanced procedures and technology, such as lasers, we precisely sculpt the gumline, creating a more natural and aesthetically pleasing look.
✔ Improves the appearance of a gummy smile

You may be a good candidate for gum contouring if you have:
Gum contouring offers permanent results because the excess gum tissue does not grow back. With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, your reshaped gumline will stay beautiful for years to come.
At Sleep Dentistry, we use state-of-the-art technology, such as lasers for a precise and comfortable gum reshaping procedure:
We start with a thorough exam and digital imaging to assess your gumline and discuss your smile goals.
We apply local anesthesia to numb the area. For patients with dental anxiety, we also offer sedation options for a relaxed experience.
Using a soft tissue laser, we gently remove and reshape excess gum tissue to create a more balanced and proportionate gumline.
✔ Minimally invasive with no scalpels or sutures
✔ Less bleeding and faster healing compared to traditional methods
✔ Instant results for an improved smile
Recovery is quick and easy, with minimal discomfort. Most patients can return to normal activities the same day. We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including:
✔ Stick to a soft foods diet for the first few days.
✔ Avoid spicy or acidic foods that may irritate the gums.
✔ Practice gentle oral hygiene while the gums heal.
✔ Use prescribed mouth rinse to prevent infection.
✔ Attend a follow-up appointment to ensure proper healing.
A well-proportioned gumline can completely transform your smile. At Sleep Dentistry, our expert cosmetic dentists use advanced laser technology to provide safe, effective, and pain-free gum contouring.
