Overview

Gum contouring — also called gum reshaping — uses a precise soft-tissue laser to redefine the gum line. Whether your gums are uneven, cover too much of your teeth, or create asymmetry in your smile, the procedure takes under an hour and delivers immediate, permanent results.

Who is Gum Contouring for?

Suited to patients with a "gummy smile", uneven gum levels across teeth, or those whose gums make their teeth appear short or disproportionate. Often combined with veneers or whitening as part of a smile makeover.

Good candidates typically have:

Good underlying dental health

Realistic expectations for results

Commitment to aftercare

How Gum Contouring Works.

A clear, step-by-step breakdown of your treatment journey.

Design Consultation

We photograph your smile and digitally map the ideal gum line for your facial proportions before any treatment takes place.

Local Anesthetic

The treatment area is numbed fully. You will feel no discomfort during the procedure.

Laser Reshaping

A soft-tissue diode laser precisely removes and seals the gum tissue in a single pass. No scalpel, minimal bleeding, and reduced healing time versus traditional methods.

Heal & Reveal

Gums heal within 1–2 weeks. The reshaped smile line is immediately visible and the result is permanent.

FAQ

Your questions about Gum Contouring.

If your question is not answered here, please call us or book a free consultation.

How long do cosmetic treatments take?

It depends on the treatment. Whitening can be completed in a single session. Veneers typically take 2–3 weeks. Invisalign ranges from 6–18 months. Full smile makeovers are 4–12 weeks. We will give you a precise timeline at your consultation.

How much do consultations cost?

Your initial consultation at Eira is complimentary. We believe you should be able to explore your options, understand your treatment fully, and build trust with your dentist — before committing to anything.

Are cosmetic dental treatments painful?

The vast majority of cosmetic treatments are performed under local anaesthetic and cause no pain during the procedure. Most patients are genuinely surprised by how comfortable their experience is. Any post-treatment sensitivity is typically mild and short-lived.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

At your initial consultation, Dr. Lindqvist will assess your teeth and listen carefully to your goals. She will explain all suitable options, their realistic outcomes, and their costs — so you can make an informed decision with no pressure.
