Gummy Smile
Gum Reshaping Shelby Township (Gingivectomy)
Reveal a balanced, healthy smile — down to the details.
At Fredal Orthodontics, we believe a confident smile goes beyond just straight teeth. Healthy, well-contoured gums play an essential role in both aesthetics and long-term oral health. Gum reshaping, also known as a gingivectomy, is a precise procedure that removes excess or uneven gum tissue, helping to reduce gum pocket depth, improve hygiene, and enhance the appearance of your smile.
Whether part of your overall orthodontic treatment or as a stand-alone service, gum reshaping can make a dramatic difference in your final results — giving your smile the symmetry and polish it deserves.
What to Expect
Gum reshaping begins with detailed planning using close-up photography and precise measurements of your teeth and gum line. Using advanced micro-aesthetic principles, Dr. Fredal maps out the ideal gum contour with millimeter-level accuracy.
The procedure itself is quick and comfortable — numbing is gently administered, and the entire process typically takes about 30 minutes. Healing is generally smooth, with most patients fully recovered within two weeks.
