Many people have nice smiles but show too much gum when they smile widely. Ideally, the top lip should finish level with the gum line or overlap it by 1-2 mm in a beautiful smile. If too much gum is showing it can ruin an otherwise lovely smile. The solution is a gum lift where some of the excess gum is removed. This is often done in conjunction with veneers or crowns.
Gum lifts, also known as gum contouring or gum reshaping, are cosmetic dental procedures designed to improve the appearance of your gums. This treatment involves removing excess gum tissue to enhance the symmetry and proportion of your smile. It can correct a “gummy” smile, where too much gum is visible, or address uneven gum lines. The procedure is typically performed using a laser or surgical tools, and can help create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile by exposing more of the tooth’s surface.

What is the Process for Gum Lifts?
Step 1: Initial Consultation
During the initial consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a treatment plan. They may use digital imaging to design the new gum contour.
Step 2: Second Visit
On the day of the procedure, your dentist will administer a local anaesthetic to numb the gum tissue, ensuring you are comfortable. They will then use a laser or surgical tools to remove excess gum tissue and reshape the gum line, aiming to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. This step includes smoothing and refining the gum line for optimal results.
Step 3: Third Visit
A follow-up appointment is scheduled to monitor healing, check the new gum line, and address any concerns. Your dentist will review your recovery progress, provide additional care instructions if needed, and ensure your gums are healing well.
