FAQs
Is Gummy Smile Contouring permanent?
In most cases the results are long-lasting. Once the excess gum tissue is removed, it does not usually grow back, making this a lasting way to improve your smile.
Maintaining healthy gums is important to protect your results. Regular dental visits, proper brushing, and flossing help keep your gums in good condition over time.
Will the procedure be painful?
Gummy Smile Contouring is minimally invasive and performed under local anaesthetic, for a comfortable experience. Many patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure itself.
Advanced tools like dental lasers can reduce swelling and speed up healing, making the process as smooth as possible. Our team will also provide aftercare tips to minimise sensitivity and support recovery.
How long does it take to recover?
Most patients recover quickly, with minimal downtime. You may experience mild swelling or tenderness for the first 24-48 hours, but these symptoms are usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and proper aftercare.
We recommend avoiding hard or spicy foods and brushing gently around the treated area during the healing period. Full recovery typically occurs within one to two weeks, leaving you with contoured gums and a balanced smile.
What happens if gum tissue grows back after contouring?
In some cases, gum tissue can regrow partially. Regular follow-up visits allow your dentist to monitor healing and advise if additional contouring is needed.
