What is gum recontouring in Calgary

As every great piece of art isn’t complete without the perfect frame, strong teeth won’t look their best if they aren’t surrounded by perfectly shaped gums. Excessive gums that cover too much of the tooth surface is a common problem. Many adults endure this condition and it makes their teeth appear to be too short. Another issue is when the gum line is uneven, making one tooth look longer than the others. Both situations can make for a very unattractive smile, but luckily with gum recontouring treatment, this can be easily corrected.
