FAQS
Is a gum lift purely cosmetic?
For most patients, yes, it's done to improve the appearance of the smile. In some cases, it can also make it easier to clean teeth properly or prepare the mouth for other restorative work.
Is gum lift surgery painful?
The area is numbed beforehand, so the procedure is comfortable. Mild soreness during recovery is common and generally resolves within a week.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients heal within one to two weeks, with gums settling into their final appearance over the following weeks.
Can a gum lift be combined with veneers or whitening?
Yes, many patients pair a gum lift with veneers, bonding, or whitening as part of a broader smile makeover for a fully coordinated result.

What is a gum lift?
A gum lift, also called gum contouring, reshapes an uneven or excessive gumline to create a more balanced, proportional smile.
How does it work?
Using precise techniques, your dentist removes or reshapes excess gum tissue to reveal more of the tooth's natural length, improving the smile's symmetry and proportion.
