Improved Symmetry
Reshaping achieves a more symmetrical and attractive smile, since the gumline frames every tooth that shows when you smile and shapes how it looks to other people.

Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping, is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to improve the appearance of your gums. It involves reshaping the gum tissue to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile, often addressing issues like excessive gum tissue or an uneven gum line. A balanced gum line is often associated with a more youthful smile, which is why this procedure makes such a visible difference.
Reshaping achieves a more symmetrical and attractive smile, since the gumline frames every tooth that shows when you smile and shapes how it looks to other people.
Contouring helps reduce the pockets where bacteria can accumulate, which supports your gum health alongside the appearance of your gumline over the years.
A balanced gumline allows you to smile freely without feeling self-conscious about how much gum tissue is showing in photographs or conversation with anyone at all.
A balanced gum line is often associated with a more youthful smile, so the change reads as more than cosmetic to the people who notice it in everyday conversation.
Contouring is a short procedure completed in a single appointment.

We check the new gumline against your other teeth so the finished contour reads as even and balanced from every angle before you leave us.
You receive guidance on how to care for your gums as they heal over the following days and settle into their new shape over the following week.
You might consider gum contouring if you notice any of the following.
You have a gummy smile that hides your teeth, making them look shorter than they actually are in photographs and in the mirror.
Your gum line sits unevenly across your front teeth, which affects the symmetry of your whole smile and how balanced it appears.
Excessive gum tissue is causing oral health issues by creating spaces that are difficult to clean properly with a toothbrush at home.
Your teeth appear short in photographs, even though the tooth structure underneath is perfectly healthy and completely undamaged.
I had an emergency dental situation with a severely swollen wisdom tooth and unbearable pain, and I honestly can’t thank Valencia Aesthetic Dentistry enough for what they did for me. I had called multiple places, but no one could accommodate me the same day. Most clinics only offered a consultation, and even after X-rays, I was told I’d have to wait a few days to see a surgeon. Meanwhile, my pain was getting worse by the hour. From the moment I called Valencia Aesthetic Dentistry, the experience was completely different. The front desk team was incredibly caring and understanding. They gave me a same-day appointment, and when I called again a few hours before my appointment saying the pain had become unbearable, they immediately asked me to come in earlier without any hesitation. When I arrived, I met Dr. Peyman, who evaluated my condition and explained that the wisdom tooth needed to be extracted due to the swollen gum covering it. Although the surgeon was only available after a couple of days, seeing the level of pain I was in, he took the initiative to perform the extraction himself. He reassured me that we could stop anytime if the pain was too much, which gave me a lot of confidence to proceed. What stood out the most was his expertise and care — I didn’t feel any pain during the entire procedure. It was smooth, professional, and honestly a huge relief after what I had been going through. After the procedure, not only did I feel immediate relief, but Dr. Peyman also personally followed up with me the next day to check on my recovery. That level of care is rare and truly appreciated. If you’re ever in an emergency dental situation, this is the place to go. They don’t just treat you — they genuinely care about getting you out of pain as quickly as possible. Highly recommend.
I joined Valencia Aesthetic after a friend strongly recommended Dr. Fealy, so I was initially disappointed when I learned he was retiring. However, the new team — Drs. Rayan and Peyman Kafri and Dr. Pham — has exceeded my expectations. I really appreciate their thoughtful treatment plans and the level of information they provide, which has helped me make well-informed decisions about my dental care. The staff is consistently professional and courteous, and it’s especially convenient that Valencia Aesthetic offers endodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery in addition to general dentistry. Recently, when I experienced an unexpected dental issue, the staff worked me into the schedule immediately, and the doctors adjusted their schedules to address the problem quickly, relieving my pain between two important work trips. I have rarely experienced such attentive care and service. Valencia Aesthetic Dentistry has earned my strongest recommendation!
We’ve all left the dentist perhaps in a little pain. I build up a lot of tarter and Kristin has been absolutely the best and gentlest I’ve ever been too! It’s like getting a massage for my teeth and gums. I’d give her 10 stars if I could
Taylor, as well as everyone else in the practice are as professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and kind as possible. Kudos to everyone there for maximizing my comfort during a difficult period .
Great atmosphere, friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff. Carrie my dental hygienist is amazing, really got my smile back on track!
Really liked your hygienist Carrie she was very thorough! And always like Dr Pham ;) happy with my choice of dentist office. Highly recommend.
Best teeth cleaning and best office staff! Thank you
Dr Ryan the endo doctor did a fabulous job fixing a root canal that was botched up by my previous dentist. He was able to find the problem and clear up an infection (that I had in a root for 18 months). The previous dentist told me to wait and it would go away.
The best dentist I’ve ever been to. Everyone is so kind and friendly, from the very first person you encounter in the front office. I have some dental anxiety and the dentist and dental assistance explained all the steps of the procedure and checked in with me multiple times to make sure I was doing well. Excellent service all around.
Everything was excellent ,Courtney and Taylor my hygienist went above and beyond the call of duty to make me comfortable !

I can now take care of my mouth and not be afraid in any way! Thank you so much!!

They are the best dental office in all of Santa Clarita. Everyone there is so kind. So patient. And just so wonderful.
I had an amazing experience at this dental office! From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. The office was clean, modern, and very calming. Dr. Kafri was amazing, I give him 10/10. The nurse was also amazing but I don’t remember her name unfortunately. Taylor, she did my cleaning, was phenomenal. The dentist took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I was completely comfortable throughout the entire visit. The treatment was gentle, efficient, and truly exceeded my expectations. I left feeling well cared for and confident about my dental health. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled dentist!
