Thought I had a cavity but Dr. Stuart explained that it was just a stain and that my sensitivity was due to some gum recession. She is very sweet and I will absolutely be going back!

Transform Your Smile with Expert Gum Recontouring
Have you ever felt that your smile is "all gums and no teeth"? Or perhaps you’ve noticed that your gum line looks uneven, making some teeth appear shorter than others. At The Village Dentistry, we believe a beautiful smile is about more than just your teeth—it’s about the perfect balance between your porcelain and the frame that surrounds it.
Providing top-tier Gum Contouring in Houston, Dr. Ashley Christensen and her team use advanced techniques to reshape and harmonize your smile.
What is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring, also known as gum recontouring or gingival sculpting, is a precise dental procedure where a dentist reshapes the gum tissue. This can involve removing excess tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth structure or adjusting the gum line to create better symmetry.
At our Houston practice, we often perform this procedure using specialized dental lasers. This modern approach is far more comfortable than traditional methods, offering our patients a way to upgrade their smiles with minimal downtime and maximum precision.
Signs You May Benefit from Gum Recontouring
At The Village Dentistry, we serve patients from West University, Bellaire, River Oaks and throughout the Houston area who are looking to correct both corrective and cosmetic issues. You may be an ideal candidate for this procedure if you notice:
- A "Gummy" Smile: Your smile shows a significant amount of gum tissue, making your teeth appear "short" or boxy.
- Uneven Gum Line: Your gums sit higher on some teeth and lower on others, creating an asymmetrical look.

Don’t let an uneven gum line hold you back. The Village Dentistry, located in Rice Village in the heart of Houston, TX, is ready to help you achieve the radiant, balanced smile you deserve.
