Sculpt Your Perfect Smile
With Gum Contouring and Reshaping
Achieve a Balanced
Beautiful Gum Line
A gum line that feels too high, too low, or uneven can affect the overall balance of your smile, even if your teeth are in perfect shape. That’s where gum contouring comes in! This simple, transformative procedure reshapes your gum line, giving your smile a more symmetrical, polished look. At Bynum Aesthetic Dentistry, we customize every treatment to suit your needs, ensuring a natural result that enhances your teeth without the distraction of excess gum tissue. Whether you want to correct a “gummy” smile or simply achieve better proportions, we’re here to help you achieve the perfect frame for your smile.

WHY CHOOSE GUM CONTOURING OVER XEOMIN FOR A GUMMY SMILE?
While Xeomin (alternative to Botox) can be an effective solution for certain types of gummy smiles—specifically those caused by overactive upper lip muscles—gum contouring is often the more permanent and comprehensive option for patients whose gummy smile is due to excess gum tissue. Here’s why we might recommend gum contouring over the innovative Botox alternative we offer, Xeomin:
Permanent Results
Botox requires regular maintenance, while gum contouring offers a one-time, permanent solution.
Targeted Treatment
Gum contouring directly removes excess gum tissue, addressing the root cause of a gummy smile, while Botox temporarily relaxes the lip muscles.
Precise Gum Sculpting
Gum contouring provides precise reshaping of the gum line for a balanced, natural smile, which Botox cannot achieve through muscle adjustment alone.
