Gum Contouring also referred to as Gum Reshaping is a technique used to reshape the gum line. Sometimes, even with the most perfect set of teeth, our Smile can be let down by our gums.

If you have a low or uneven gum line, often described as a ‘gummy smile’, or if your gum line is uneven, Gum Contouring/ Reshaping will ensure your smile line looks more balanced and symmetrical.

A gummy smile or uneven gum line is often concealing a significant portion of healthy tooth that once revealed can be transformative, changing the way your entire mouth presents. Your Smile can look wider, brighter and healthier. Teeth look whiter and stronger; making you feel brighter, happier and healthier in turn.

A variety of dental procedures can often be enhanced by the addition of Gum Contouring, including the increasingly popular Smile Makeover and Dental Facelift. The procedure is completed using specialised soft tissue laser Technology that ensures a great end result in a short space of time.

By Contouring/ Reshaping the gum the natural proportions of your teeth can be restored. There are two procedures used to achieve this, simple soft tissue gum sculpting with laser for subtle but effective improvement, or surgical lifting of the gum in more complex cases.
