Your smile is an essential part of your appearance, giving you a balanced and confident look. So, if you are unhappy with a gummy smile or want an even gum line, gum reshaping is your answer!

What is Gum Reshaping?

Gum reshaping or gum lift, also known as gingival sculpting or gum contouring, is a cosmetic dentistry procedure designed to enhance the appearance of your smile by altering the gum line. This procedure can be an ideal solution for individuals self-conscious about having a “gummy” smile, where excessive gum tissue covers a significant portion of their teeth, or for those with an uneven gum line that makes the teeth appear asymmetrical.

A study suggests that this condition occurs in 10.5-29% of young adults, with a higher frequency in women. Moreover, Snapchat dysmorphia is rising at an alarming rate turning young adults toward cosmetic surgeries quite frequently.

What is the Procedure of Gum Lift?

Gum reshaping is typically performed by a dentist or a periodontist specializing in cosmetic dentistry which Dr. Farid specializes in.

The process involves using cutting-edge tools such as laser technology, scalpel, or radiosurgery to trim away excess gum tissue and reshape the gum line to expose more of the teeth or to create a more even appearance.

In some cases, the procedure might also involve reshaping the bone underlying the gums to ensure long-lasting results.

The process involves three steps:

Step 1: Initial Examination

Your dentist will thoroughly examine your oral cavity to assess the condition of your teeth and gums and suggest if a gum lift is suitable for you. Then a customized plan is created based on your specific needs.

Step 2: Pre-surgery Preparation

Local anaesthesia is administered to numb the area that needs gum lifting, and then the procedure begins. This keeps the patient calm during the procedure. 

Step 3: Reshaping Process

Using a laser or scalpel, the excess tissue is removed to reveal the teeth as per the initial examination. The remaining gums are carefully reshaped to give you a symmetrical and balanced smile. 

Step 4: Final Adjustments & Aftercare 

After the procedure, the dentist does the final polishing for a smooth and refined look. They may suggest some dietary restrictions and oral hygiene practices to ensure proper healing.

Considerations and Recovery

Before undergoing gum reshaping, it’s essential to have a thorough consultation with your dental care provider to discuss your aesthetic goals and any potential risks or side effects.

The recovery process is relatively quick, with minor discomfort or swelling typically subsiding within a few days. Patients are advised to follow a soft diet and maintain good oral hygiene practices during the recovery period to avoid any complications.

How Long Does it Take to Recover

Most patients recover quite quickly, within 1 – 2 weeks, with minor discomfort.

However, it can take up to 3 weeks depending on how much tissue has been removed. Many factors come into play like an individual’s healing capability, how many teeth were treated, and how you take post-op precautions. 

Post-operative Care

Post-surgical care is important to heal faster and avoid any complications. The following tips can help you recover faster preventing any complications: 

  • Keep your diet restricted to soft and cool foods for a few days after surgery 
  • Consult your dentist before taking any pain relief medicines  
  • Brush your teeth avoiding the surgical site as directed by your dentist 
  • Practice good oral hygiene to prevent infections

Benefits of Gum Reshaping

  • Aesthetic Improvement: The most apparent benefit is the enhancement of one’s smile. By correcting an uneven gum line or reducing the visibility of the gums, patients often experience a significant boost in confidence and self-esteem.
  • Improved Oral Health: In some instances, removing excess gum tissue can help in reducing pockets between the teeth and gums where bacteria can accumulate, thereby potentially improving oral health.
  • Minimal Downtime: Gum reshaping is usually done as an outpatient procedure, with most patients able to return to their normal activities the very same day.
