Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Gum Contouring. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Gum contouring — also called gum reshaping, gingival sculpting, or gingivoplasty — is a cosmetic dental procedure that reshapes the gum line to create a more even, balanced smile. It is most commonly considered by people with a gummy smile, an uneven gum line, or teeth that appear short because of excess gum tissue. The procedure is performed in the dental chair under local anaesthesia; the dentist uses a dental laser, a fine surgical scalpel, or electrosurgery to carefully remove or reposition excess gum tissue. In more complex cases where the underlying bone contributes to the problem, a crown lengthening procedure may also be performed. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, return to normal activities within a day or two, and see the final result as the gums settle over one to two weeks for soft tissue reshaping, or several months when bone has been adjusted.
Gum tissue is precisely removed and reshaped using a focused dental laser, which seals blood vessels as it works — typically meaning less bleeding, no stitches, and a faster recovery for straightforward cases.
Estimated cost: ~$100 – $200
Typical tests for this variant: Dental X-rays (periapical and panoramic), Periodontal charting and probing, Digital smile design / gum line planning photographs, Blood pressure and random blood sugar. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $500 – $1,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 days
Hospitalisation: ~1 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~2 days recommended
