When we think of a beautiful smile, we often focus on the teeth — but the gums play an equally important role.
Gum contouring is the art of reshaping the gum line to create a balanced, symmetrical frame for your smile. Whether it’s correcting a “gummy” appearance or evening out asymmetry, this subtle enhancement can make a powerful difference in how your smile looks — and how you feel about it.
Dr. Ali Khodr approaches gum contouring with the same eye for detail and proportion that defines all of his cosmetic work. It's not about removing too much — it’s about revealing just enough.
“In many cases, the teeth are already beautiful — they’re just hidden behind excess or uneven gum tissue. My role is to bring that natural beauty forward.”
— Dr. Ali Khodr
Gum contouring (also called gum reshaping or gingival sculpting) is a minimally invasive procedure that removes or reshapes excess gum tissue to enhance the smile’s overall symmetry and proportion.
Using advanced soft tissue technology and a gentle, artistic touch, Dr. Ali sculpts the gum line with precision — improving the balance between teeth and gums, and allowing more of the natural tooth to shine through.
Gum contouring is often a standalone procedure — but it can also be part of a broader smile makeover for the most harmonious, polished result.
What makes Dr. Ali’s gum contouring work distinct is his artistic sensitivity to the small details that others might overlook. He doesn’t just “trim” the gums — he carefully designs them to follow the natural curve of your teeth, your lips, and your unique facial structure. It’s measured, thoughtful work that respects the natural anatomy while elevating the entire aesthetic.
Gum contouring is typically completed in a single appointment with minimal discomfort and downtime. Most patients return to normal activities the same day or shortly after. As healing takes place, the full result reveals itself: a smile that looks more open, bright, and beautifully in proportion.
If you’ve ever felt your teeth look too short, or that your smile shows more gum than you’d like, gum contouring might be the missing piece. During your consultation, Dr. Ali will evaluate your gum-to-tooth ratio, discuss your goals, and show you what’s possible — with honesty, precision, and a design-first approach.
