What is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring – also known as gum reshaping, tissue sculpting, or gingival contouring – is a cosmetic and dental procedure that corrects uneven or excessive gum lines. Whether performed for aesthetic reasons or to support better oral health, this form of cosmetic gum surgery can dramatically improve your smile’s balance and reduce the risk of gum-related issues.
At Dr. Sarah Frahm’s Monterey dental office, we take a personalized approach to gum contouring — helping you achieve a healthier, more balanced smile with precision, comfort, and care.

What to Expect: Before, During & After
After a thorough consultation, Dr. Frahm will numb the area and gently remove or sculpt gum tissue using a soft tissue laser. For gum recession cases, grafting may be recommended to restore the gum line.
Post-procedure, expect some mild soreness — easily managed with over-the-counter medication. Stick to soft foods and be gentle with brushing for a few days. Most patients resume normal routines quickly.
Results are permanent — and with proper care, your new gum line will last for years.
