Gum Contouring & Gum Lift at Sure Smile Clinic, London

Is contouring right for your gummy smile?

Not every gummy smile is a gum problem. Some are caused by a short upper lip, an over-mobile lip or the position of the upper jaw. We measure tooth length, lip movement and bone level first — lip-lowering with muscle relaxant or orthodontics can be the better answer.

What happens on the day

  • We design and mark the new gum line with you holding a mirror
  • The area is numbed with local anaesthetic
  • A soft-tissue laser reshapes the margins with little to no bleeding
  • Where bone must also be reshaped, a small flap procedure is used instead
  • You leave the same day with a visible difference

Healing

Laser contouring heals in a week or two with only mild tenderness. If bone recontouring was needed, allow six to twelve weeks for the tissue to fully mature before placing veneers or crowns.
