Gum Reshaping

What is it?

Gum levels can be uneven and give a gummy smile. Gently contouring the gum tissue can make the smile look more even.

The procedure

Using a local anaesthetic, the gum is reshaped by an electocautery probe or a laser. This procedure takes up to 40 minutes to do.

Cost

From around £60 per tooth

What can go wrong?

Gums may look a bit bloody for a couple of days. If using a laser, the dentist needs to hold a special licence from the Healthcare Commission.
