Therefore, it has to be completely removed by surgery. Objective: To correct the condition of epulis by excision and gingival contouring for aesthetic need.  Case Report: A 30-year-old female patient presented with a complaint of a mass on the gum of the anterior teeth on her upper jaw that made her unconfident to smile. The mass had been there for 1.5 years. Conclusion: The condition of epulis can be corrected by excision procedure and by removing the cause of the epulis (sub-gingival calculus). The aesthetic result can be obtained by gingival contouring after the excision. Keywords: epulis, fibrous epulis, gingival hyperplasia, excision, gingival contouring, gingival biopsy
