Do you try to hide your gums when you smile and talk?
Gum shaping may be the solution to regaining confidence in your smile
If your gums rest too low on your teeth and you are unhappy with your smile, you may be a candidate for a gum shaping procedure.
Gum shaping (also known as a gum lift) is relatively simple procedure which is done in one visit with a local anaesthetic.
What is a Gum Shaping?
Gum Shaping essentially raises the gum line. The process itself involves a dental laser which is used to improve the look of your gums. Don’t worry, the whole process is pain-free!

Frequently Asked Questions
Gum shaping is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves reshaping or contouring the gum line to improve the appearance of the teeth and gums.
Gum shaping is typically performed to correct asymmetrical, irregular, or excessive gum tissue, which can make teeth appear too short or uneven.
Gum shaping is typically performed using a laser or a scalpel to remove or reshape the gum tissue. The procedure is often performed in combination with other cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as teeth whitening or veneers.
Gum shaping is usually performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Some patients may experience slight soreness or sensitivity following the procedure, but this usually subsides within a few days.
Most patients are able to return to work or normal activities within a few days following gum shaping. Full recovery may take several weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure and the individual’s healing process.
