Gum Reshaping
Gum reshaping is a dental cosmetic treatment that helps to improve the overall appearance of a patients’ smile. Although gum reshaping is not essential, the treatment does offer various benefits and can significantly improve overall dental health. Gum reshaping is a treatment that can be performed alone or as a part of a smile makeover treatment plan, alongside other treatments such as Invisalign®, composite bonding and dental veneers. Gum reshaping is generally a safe, effective and fast procedure that has minimal risks involved.
The procedure for gum reshaping is virtually pain-free as we use the latest technology and dental equipment to achieve the best possible results. A local anaesthetic will be applied to the numb the specific area where we are treating and in some cases, the bone at the front of the tooth’s root may be removed to achieve long-term results. After treatment, it’s likely that you may experience some mild soreness in and around the gums where we have operated but patients can easily manage this mild pain with recommended painkillers.

The Procedure
Before we go ahead with tooth reshaping, we will firstly need to examine the current state of your teeth and dental health as it’s important for teeth to be healthy in order to withstand reshaping. If the teeth are healthy, the dentist will go ahead with the treatment and use the latest equipment and materials to minimise or eliminate the imperfections of the surface of your teeth. Once imperfections are removed and teeth are reshaped, we will then polish and smooth down your teeth for the best possible appearance. The procedure is really simple for our experienced dental professionals but sometimes we will also recommend cosmetic bonding as an additional treatment if teeth are gappy.
