Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or tissue sculpting, is a dental procedure that reshapes the gum line to improve the appearance of your smile or address oral health concerns. At London Dental Specialists, our experienced dentists use precision techniques to remove excess gum tissue or restore receded gums, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
For most patients at London Dental Specialists, gum contouring results are permanent and do not require repetition. Once reshaped, gums typically do not grow back to their previous position. With proper oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups every six months, your new gum line can be maintained indefinitely. Our specialists provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure long-lasting results.
At London Dental Specialists, we prioritise patient comfort during gum contouring procedures. Local anaesthesia is administered before treatment begins, ensuring you feel minimal to no discomfort during the procedure. After treatment, patients may experience mild tenderness for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief medication. Our dentists provide detailed aftercare instructions to minimise any post-procedure discomfort.
The cost of gum contouring at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the extent of treatment required. Prices typically range from £50 to £350 per tooth, with comprehensive treatment for all front teeth potentially costing more. During your consultation, our specialists will provide a detailed treatment plan with exact costs. Some dental insurance plans may cover part of the procedure if it's deemed medically necessary. We recommend checking with your insurance provider regarding coverage details.
Gum contouring is a very safe procedure when performed by qualified dental professionals like those at London Dental Specialists. Our team conducts thorough assessments to determine if you're a suitable candidate for the procedure. While most patients qualify, some may require additional treatments alongside gum contouring, such as veneers or crowns, to achieve optimal results. Our specialists use advanced techniques and equipment to ensure the highest safety standards throughout your treatment.
