Perfect a Gummy Smile.

Gum contouring is a minimally invasive procedure is performed by Dr Leila Haywood and Dr Andre Roux in house, and is designed to:

  • Balance uneven gum heights

  • Reduce the appearance of a gummy smile

  • Improve symmetry and proportion across the teeth and smile line

Using precise techniques and a focus on aesthetic detail, we help create a more refined, natural-looking smile tailored to your facial features.

Refine your Smile with Balance and Symmetry.

Cosmetic gum contouring is a gentle, in chair procedure designed to reshape the gum line and enhance the symmetry of your smile.

  • There are two main techniques used by our dentists to lift and contour the gums, based on your bone-to-gum ratio (biological width):

    Gingivectomy

    Using microsurgical techniques without sutures, we can remove excess gum tissue to increase tooth length and improve balance. This procedure is ideal when no bone adjustment is required.

    Crown Lengthening

    When the gum-to-bone ratio is not optimal, crown lengthening involves adjusting the underlying bone for a healthier, longer-lasting result. A small amount of bone is gently contoured to prevent future inflammation and ensure long-term gum stability. Micro sutures may be used and are well hidden.

  • 1. Personalised Consultation
    Your journey begins with a detailed smile assessment. Our aesthetic dentists will evaluate your gum line, tooth proportions, and facial features to determine the most flattering shape for your smile.

    2. Digital Smile Design (if required)
    In some cases, we use digital imaging to plan the ideal gum shape and ensure harmony with your teeth and overall smile. This allows you to preview your results before treatment.

    3. Local Anaesthetic
    A small amount of local anaesthetic is applied to numb the gums and ensure you’re completely comfortable during the procedure.

    4. Precision Gum Reshaping
    Using gentle techniques, the excess gum tissue is carefully contoured and reshaped. We focus on creating even gum heights, exposing more tooth structure where needed, and achieving natural balance across the smile line.

    5. Minimal Downtime
    Most patients experience only mild tenderness or swelling, which typically resolves within a few days. Healing is quick, and you’ll be provided with aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.

    6. Final Results
    You’ll notice a more open, symmetrical, and aesthetically pleasing smile — often with immediate visible improvement.
