Gum reshaping, also known as gum contouring, is a cosmetic dental procedure that changes the shape of your gums to create an even gum line. At London Dental Specialists, we use advanced laser technology to carefully remove excess gum tissue, revealing more of your teeth and transforming your smile. This procedure helps correct issues such as a 'gummy smile' or uneven gum lines, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Gum reshaping at London Dental Specialists is not a painful procedure. We use modern laser technology which minimises discomfort during treatment. Most patients experience little to no pain during the procedure itself as we provide appropriate anaesthesia. After treatment, you may feel some mild tenderness or sensitivity in your gums for a few days, but this can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Our specialists ensure your comfort throughout the entire process.
The cost of gum reshaping at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the extent of treatment required. Prices typically range from £300 to £3,000. Factors affecting the cost include how many teeth require treatment, the complexity of your case, and whether additional procedures are needed. We provide detailed treatment plans with transparent pricing during your consultation, and offer various payment options to help make treatment accessible.
At London Dental Specialists, a typical gum reshaping procedure takes between 30 minutes to one hour to complete. The exact duration depends on how many teeth are being treated and the extent of reshaping required. For minor adjustments involving just a few teeth, the procedure may be completed in under 30 minutes. More extensive reshaping might take longer. We always ensure the procedure is performed thoroughly without rushing, prioritising quality results.
Recovery after gum reshaping at London Dental Specialists is relatively quick. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24-48 hours. Your gums may feel tender for approximately one week, during which we recommend a soft food diet and gentle oral hygiene practices. Complete healing typically occurs within two weeks. Our laser technology significantly reduces recovery time compared to traditional methods, with minimal bleeding and swelling. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Yes, gum reshaping performed at London Dental Specialists provides permanent results. Once the excess gum tissue is removed, it will not grow back to its previous state. However, maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups is essential to preserve the results.

With proper care and regular professional cleanings, your reshaped gum line can maintain its appearance indefinitely.
Gum reshaping at London Dental Specialists is generally very safe with minimal risks. Potential temporary side effects include:
