Gum contouring is a procedure that reshapes the tissues, which is the cause of a gummy smile. This condition can be genetic, but it can be fixed by Gum contouring. Gum contouring is a simple procedure done with the help of a laser.

How Much Does Gum Contouring Cost?

The cost of gum contouring is not fixed for every patient. The cost will depend on the patient as everyone does not have the same extent of tissue covering the teeth.

The average fee most doctors charge is $50-$350 per tooth, and if you are willing to treat all the front teeth at the same time, then the total cost you may have to bear is anywhere between $1,000-$3,000. The dental insurance may cover some of your expenses, but only if the procedure is necessary.

How long does Gum Contouring Last?

Once the gum contouring procedure is completed and excess tissue is removed, it is highly unlikely that the same person will have to go through the laser surgery again.

Once the gums are perfectly shaped, the gums will not grow back again. You just need to take good care of your teeth by cleaning them regularly.
