What is gum re-shaping?
Gum re-shaping is a cosmetic procedure and is most commonly used to treat a gummy smile. A gummy smile is not a dental health problem as such, but it can affect your confidence and have a major bearing on the way you feel, especially around others. A gummy smile is a term used to describe the look of the smile when a larger than normal amount of gum tissue is visible. It often makes the teeth look small and can make the smile look imbalanced.
Gum reshaping aims to expose more of the tooth crown by removing a small amount of excess gum tissue. The end result is a beautifully balanced smile and hopefully, a much more confident client.
How does gum reshaping work?
Gum re-shaping treatment can usually be completed in a single trip to the clinic and it is a simple procedure. Your dentist will carefully remove a small amount of gum tissue and shape the gums to unveil more of the tooth crowns.
Your dentist will explain exactly what treatment involves and what you can expect during and after treatment when you have your consultation. If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to ask.

Gum reshaping is a cosmetic dental procedure used to balance the appearance of the smile by altering the shape of the gums and increasing the amount of tooth tissue that is visible when you smile.
How does gum reshaping work?
Gum reshaping is a procedure that is used to create a more attractive smile and it provides a solution for patients who have a gummy smile. A gummy smile is a term given when a large amount of the tooth is covered by gum tissue. There are no unpleasant medical symptoms, but the appearance of the smile is affected and this can make people feel self-conscious. By altering the shape of the gums and removing a small amount of gum tissue, we can balance the look of the smile by uncovering more of the tooth tissue. A gummy smile tends to make the teeth look short and small and we can use the latest techniques to make them look larger and longer for a more attractive aesthetic.
With gum reshaping, we gently trim away excess gum tissue to unveil more of the tooth structure. This enhances the look of the smile and helps to promote confidence. Typically, treatment can be completed in a single session.
We use modern techniques to minimise pain and accelerate healing.
