Reveal a Balanced, Beautiful Smile
with Gum Contouring

At Mermaid Smiles, we understand that a stunning smile is about more than just your teeth – your gums play an essential role too. If you feel your smile looks “gummy” or uneven, gum contouring offers a simple, refined solution to reshape and balance your gum line.

This gentle cosmetic treatment can reveal more of your natural teeth, enhance symmetry, and create a confident smile that still feels completely you.

What Is Gum Contouring?

Gum contouring (also called gum reshaping or gum lifting) is a cosmetic procedure that carefully sculpts the gum line using advanced tools. By removing excess gum tissue or evening out uneven gums, we enhance the proportion and harmony of your smile.

Why Consider Gum Contouring?

Reduce the appearance of a “gummy” smile

Reveal more of your natural tooth structure

Enhance the results of veneers or cosmetic bonding

Improve overall smile aesthetics in a subtle, natural way

What Causes an Uneven or Gummy Smile?

Genetics (naturally high or uneven gums)

Certain medications

Inflammation or gum overgrowth

Developmental issues during childhood

Previous dental treatments affecting the gum line

What to Expect During the Procedure

1) Consultation
We’ll assess your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if gum contouring is right for you.

2) Planning and numbing
Your gums will be numbed for complete comfort. We may also use digital imaging to plan your ideal gum line.

3) Reshaping
Using specialised tools (like soft-tissue lasers or precision instruments), we gently remove or reshape gum tissue.

4) Aftercare
Mild tenderness is normal. We’ll provide care instructions and check in as you heal.
