Advanced gum contouring for a refined smile
Advanced gum treatment is a contouring procedure that reshapes excess gum tissue covering the teeth, which can make the gums appear large and the teeth smaller. While not a medical issue, this condition, often called a "gummy smile," can impact the appearance of your smile and affect your self-confidence.
Using advanced laser technology, our clinicians precisely reshape the gums, improving the balance between gums and teeth and enhancing the overall look of your smile.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about advanced gum treatment
A gummy smile can be caused by excess gum tissue covering the teeth, which may be genetic or due to certain health conditions. It can also be a side effect of specific medications, such as those used to treat high blood pressure.
At Stella Dental in Nottingham, our advanced gum treatment begins with a local anaesthetic to numb the gums. One of our clinicians then uses a laser to gently reshape the gum tissue, a process that takes about 20 to 30 minutes. The anaesthetic ensures you are comfortable during the procedure. Afterwards, you may experience mild soreness for a few days, which can be managed with standard over-the-counter pain relief.
Your gums may be sensitive for a few days, so be gentle when brushing and flossing. You may also find relief by rinsing with a warm saltwater mouthwash.
It’s best to avoid hot or spicy foods immediately after the treatment to prevent irritation. Otherwise, you can return to your regular diet within a day or two.
Yes, gum contouring typically provides long-lasting results because the excess gum tissue, once removed, does not usually regenerate. While individual healing may vary, most clients find that their new gum line maintains its shape, offering a lasting improvement to their smile’s appearance and their overall confidence.
Most people with excess gum tissue or a “gummy smile” are good candidates for gum contouring. A consultation with our clinicians will help determine if this treatment is right for you.
