- Enhanced Smile Aesthetics: Gum contouring can dramatically improve the aesthetics of your smile. By removing excess gum tissue and reshaping the gumline, we can create a more balanced and proportionate smile. This procedure can help you achieve a beautiful smile that boosts your self-confidence and enhances your overall appearance.
- Symmetrical Gumline: If your gumline is uneven or asymmetrical, gum contouring can create a more symmetrical appearance. Our skilled dental professionals will carefully sculpt the gum tissue to achieve a harmonious gumline that complements your teeth and facial features.

FAQs
Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or gum lift, is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves removing or reshaping excess gum tissue to create a more balanced and proportionate gum line. It can help enhance the aesthetics of your smile by reducing the appearance of a “gummy smile” or uneven gum line, allowing for more visible and symmetrical teeth.
Ideal candidates for gum contouring are individuals who have excessive or uneven gum tissue that negatively affects the appearance of their smile. This may be due to genetics, gum recession, or certain medical conditions. Candidates should have good overall oral health and be committed to maintaining proper oral hygiene. A consultation with a qualified dentist or periodontist is essential to determine if gum contouring is suitable for your specific case.
The process of gum contouring typically involves using a dental laser or a scalpel to remove or reshape the excess gum tissue. The dentist carefully trims the gum line to create a more harmonious appearance. In some cases, the procedure may also involve grafting gum tissue to areas with gum recession. Local anaesthesia is often used to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
Gum contouring is generally a well-tolerated procedure. Local anaesthesia is used to numb the area, so patients typically experience minimal discomfort during the treatment. After the procedure, there may be some mild soreness or sensitivity, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and proper post-operative care as recommended by your dentist.
Recovery time after gum contouring varies, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few days. It is normal to experience some mild swelling, discomfort, and sensitivity in the treated area initially. Your dentist will provide specific post-operative instructions, such as oral hygiene recommendations and dietary restrictions, to ensure proper healing and minimise the risk of complications.
