Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
Gum reshaping corrects the proportions of the gum line to reveal more of the natural tooth. We assess your smile at a consultation to determine the treatment time and approach your case needs.
Led by Dr Ope Sodeinde.
Receding gums or persistent redness are often a sign of gum disease. We provide a range of periodontics in London to address this, from early gingivitis management to complex surgery, with a precise diagnosis before anything else. Our team, including Dr Ope Sodeinde, provides non-surgical periodontal therapy as the first line: scaling and root planing to remove tartar below the gum line and promote reattachment, or laser gum therapy where bacteria are the cause.
We work diagnosis first, so you only pay for the treatment you need and the plan is based on clinical fact rather than guesswork. Early intervention is often the only way to prevent losing teeth to advanced gum disease.
A periodontist focuses on the health of the supporting structures of your teeth. We can also address aesthetic concerns, such as gum depigmentation, to improve the appearance of your smile. Dr Ope Sodeinde assesses each case individually to confirm whether reshaping is right for you.

Many people feel self-conscious about their gums or worry that a dental visit will be stressful. The consultation is calm, and early intervention is often the most effective way to save your teeth and prevent further loss.
Whether you are dealing with a gummy smile or a more complex issue, a consultation determines the right path. We can help you identify which of the gum disease treatments: which one fits your needs. Dr Ope Sodeinde assesses each case individually against your clinical history.
We examine your gum line to establish the cause of the asymmetry, discuss your goals, and explain how a more balanced result can be achieved.
We map the precise area of tissue to be removed so the result follows your facial proportions. If more tissue needs to come away to expose the tooth structure, we may recommend crown lengthening instead.
Under local anaesthetic, Dr Ope Sodeinde refines the gum margins. If the idea of gum surgery worries you, tell us; we plan around it.
Your gums need time to settle into their new position. We give you instructions for caring for the area so the new contour stays stable while it heals.
A maintenance programme with regular reviews protects the result and lets us monitor the health of your periodontal tissues.
Your treatment is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071), who examines your gums and reviews your medical history before planning. Our facility provides precise subgingival cleaning and tooth surface debridement, and laser gum therapy where it fits the case.
Whether you need crown lengthening for a restoration or scaling and root planing, the same team provides it. Regular follow-up appointments, including gum irrigation sessions, help protect your results.
Fees depend on the complexity of your case. We give you a precise breakdown at your consultation after assessing your gum health and the changes needed.
The timeframe depends on the amount of tissue being reshaped. We set out your specific timeline at your initial assessment.
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic beforehand.
The longevity of the result depends on your oral health. We provide a maintenance programme to help protect your gums and prevent disease from returning.
Suitability and the expected timeline are settled at your first visit. The specialist assesses your gum health to set out a precise plan. You can learn what happens at your first periodontal consultation and how to book to get these answers.
We provide a clear breakdown of the process at our Primrose Hill practice, alongside our wider range of periodontics in London for other gum treatments.
We assess your suitability and answer questions on costs and timelines at your consultation, so Dr Ope Sodeinde can set out the most effective approach for your case. You may also wish to learn about gum depigmentation to address the colour of your gums.
Dr Ope Sodeinde provides a written plan and itemised quote during your assessment. This plan is yours to keep and take to any other practice.
