Rebalance Your Smile
If your gum tissue disproportionately covers your teeth, the result is a gummy smile. The imbalance between your gums and teeth may leave you self-conscious.
Genetics are a common factor in enlarged gums; other potential causes include illness and medication.
Gum contouring rebalances your smile. By redesigning your gum line, we can help you smile with confidence.
GET IN TOUCHUnderstanding Gum Contouring
Sometimes referred to as a gum lift, gingival sculpting, or gingivoplasty, gum contouring uses the latest techniques to improve the appearance of your gums. At The Dental Suite, we offer two highly effective treatments to reshape your gum line.
LASER GUM CONTOURING
The laser gum contouring procedure directs a laser at the gum tissue to reshape, re-contour and re-seal tissue.
Using this technique, we can also close potentially dangerous pockets between tooth and gum caused by periodontitis.
Laser contouring is quicker and more comfortable than surgical options, with a shorter recovery time.
SURGICAL GUM CONTOURING
Instead of lasers, surgical gum contouring uses a traditional scalpel instead of lasers. Gums are re-sealed using specialist dental sutures.
The Gum Contouring Process
We’ll begin by assessing the health of your gums and teeth. This helps us determine if gum contouring is necessary. If you have gum disease, we’ll usually explore other treatments first.
A gum contour procedure is typically performed in a single appointment lasting around one hour. Before we begin, we’ll provide a local anaesthetic to reduce discomfort.
We’ll then remove any excess gum using a scalpel or soft tissue laser. By removing and contouring the gum line, we’ll reveal more of the surfaces of your teeth.
After we’ve removed the gum tissue, we’ll use sutures to seal the treatment site.
Over the next couple of days, your gums may feel sensitive. During this recovery phase, rinse your mouth with warm salt water and maintain your usual oral hygiene routine using a gentle brushing style.
The Benefits of Gum Contouring
Gum contouring boosts self-confidence by redressing the balance between teeth and gums.
Removing a small portion of gum tissue gives your teeth a fuller appearance. These simple cosmetic changes help you smile, talk, and laugh with ease.
While gum contouring has many aesthetic benefits, the treatment can sometimes be clinically essential.
Advanced gum disease can cause pockets of bacteria to form. This can lead to tooth loss and deterioration of your jaw. We often use gum contouring following dental cleanings and antibiotic treatment.
This is How We Do It!
Our team uses an innovative 3D-printed stent to reshape and recontour gums to make perfect smiles.

Dave Thompson
I went in with jaw ache and needed a filling in one tooth. The filling was done quickly and painlessly and the jaw ache was diagnosed as bruxism. I got fitted for a sleep clench inhibitor and after a few months of use had no pain in my jaw!
Debs Lambley
I was very pleased with the service and dental work carried out at The Dental Suite Nottingham. I was treated with courtesy and respect by all the staff. Bernardo and Diogo explained treatment options and I did not feel pressurised. Maryam, the hygienist, was very gentle. I would recommend this dental practice.
Daisy Baumd
I want to say that I am very happy with the treatment I got here. I had my teeth professionally cleaned and they did such a good job that I didn’t need the whitening treatment that I was going to have. Superb.

Dr Sanita is honestly the best at what she does! Such a perfectionist and so gentle. Completely changed my smile with new fillings that were white. Thank you also to Clare and Rosie for being so lovely, welcoming and caring towards me!! Really recommend Dr Sanita.
