Gum lift surgery, or ‘gum contouring’, is a form of cosmetic dentistry that achieves the ideal gum-to-tooth ratio by repairing damaged gums and recontouring them to the desired shape. It can treat various cosmetic dental issues, including gummy smiles, uneven gingival contour or overexposed root canals.
Excessive gum tissue is caused by multiple factors, such as periodontitis (gum disease), poor oral hygiene, ageing, or genetics. If you have developed deep gum pockets, a gum lift removes a small portion of the gingiva (gum) to improve aesthetics.
At Gentle Dental, we offer gum lifts in conjunction with our other cosmetic treatments, such as dental crowns or veneers.

How to Determine if Gum Contouring Is Right for You
Gum reshaping can fix a variety of cosmetic and general dental issues, including the following:
- Gummy smile
- Excess gum tissue
- Uneven gum line
- Disproportionate teeth-to-gum ratio
- Receding gum line
Benefits of Gum Lift Surgery
There are many aesthetic and general benefits to getting a gum lift treatment, including:
- Enhanced smile aesthetics: Gum contouring results in a symmetrical gum line and ideal gum-to-tooth ratio that creates a well-balanced smile.
- Improved oral hygiene: A gum lift exposes more of the tooth, making it easier to clean and reducing the risk of plaque build-up.
- Boosted self-esteem: Say goodbye to hiding your smile and regain the self-confidence to express your emotions freely.
The Gum Lift Procedure
The gum contouring procedure is quick and non-invasive. Here’s a brief overview of the procedure:
- Initial consultation: Gentle Dental offers a free consultation to evaluate your oral hygiene and understand your desired outcome. Based on this, we will create a tailored treatment plan to achieve your dream smile.
- Treatment: The first step is to apply general anaesthetic to ensure a pain-free experience. We then begin treatment using modern dental tools and laser light to carefully remove and contour the gum line.
- Post-procedure: After the treatment, our dentists will provide guidance on how to best maintain oral hygiene for lasting results and manage discomfort.
