If you feel like your teeth look too short…
At Dental Concepts Dental Group, San Jose gum contouring (also known as crown lengthening) is designed to reshape your gum line and reveal more of your natural tooth structure. The result is a more balanced, proportionate smile. And the best part is that it’s often achieved in just one visit.
Gum contouring can help with…
- A “gummy” smile or excess gum tissue
- Teeth that appear short or uneven
- Uneven gum lines
- Preparing a tooth for a crown or restoration
- Improving overall smile symmetry
One-visit transformation
Many gum contouring procedures can be completed in a single appointment.
More balanced smile
Reshaping the gum line creates better proportion between teeth and gums. Precision-focused care
We use advanced imaging and careful planning for predictable, aesthetic results.
Functional & cosmetic benefits
Improves smile appearance while also supporting restorative treatments when needed.
Our gum contouring process
- We begin with a detailed assessment using digital imaging and CBCT when appropriate to evaluate gum levels, tooth structure, and underlying bone.
- Using a full-thickness flap technique, we gently access the area to reshape both gum tissue and underlying bone for long-lasting, balanced results.
- The bone is carefully adjusted to support proper healing and maintain the new gum position over time.
- The gums are repositioned and sutured for optimal healing, helping ensure comfort, stability, and a natural-looking outcome.
