In the social age of selfies, feeling confident about your smile is more important than ever.
A confident, bright smile isn’t just about showing the world you look fantastic. It’s also a critical factor in maintaining healthy self-esteem and feeling good on the inside.
If you are living with high, receding or uneven gums – or what’s often referred to as a ‘gummy smile’ – you’ll know just how hard it is to show off your best side.
Gum contouring is a simple cosmetic procedure in which the gums are reshaped to give them a more natural look. It’s a versatile treatment, which can be used to even out uneven gums, lower the appearance of high gums and treat receding gums.
Less than an hour is all it takes to give your gums just the right shape, length and amount on show, leaving you free to smile confidently again.
Aqua Dental offers two types of gum contouring carried out under local anaesthetic from London based patients.
Surgical Contouring
Surgical contouring achieves much the same effect as laser contouring but uses a scalpel instead of a laser. Depending on how much tissue is removed, the gums may be resealed using dental sutures.
Gum Contouring Procedure & Aftercare
Depending on the amount of tissue to be removed, contouring takes from 20 minutes to an hour. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic to reduce discomfort.
Patients may experience mild soreness or tender gums for around a week after leaving the clinic. Your dentist can recommend over-the-counter pain medication to help manage discomfort and advise on an aftercare regime to aid recovery.
It’s important to continue brushing and flossing afterwards. However, you’ll need to take special care not to irritate the gums, and a soft-bristled brush is recommended. For the first few days, you should also stick to soft foods like pasta and vegetables – food with sharp edges or seeds definitely isn’t recommended.

Hear what they’re saying belowAnnie the receptionist made me feel extremely welcome and really put me at ease before my appointment. She was really efficient and made my whole visit a positive one. Highly recommend this practice.
I honestly do not believe there are enough words to truly express how amazing this dental practice is!!! I found this (local) clinic in a search engine after needing some work done and decided to contact them for a consultation. From that first visit I was made to feel welcome/comfortable and I have been well informed throughout my patient journey and treatments/procedures have been transparent, well advised, well performed and finished to a an extremely high standard. Booking appointments has been effortless, visits hassle-free and the team are not only very warm, they are very highly skilled and professional to a tee. I have never enjoyed going to the dentist as much as I have going to Aqua Dental. #PatientForLife #AquaDentalClinic #Amazing
Finished my treatment today with Dr Maini. Very efficient and helpful! My teeth are looking great and I cannot stop smiling. Thank you Dr Maini and Alla on reception for a great experience!
I strongly recommend Dr Maini, he is highly professional and the level of the service is beyond high standards. Apart from being an amazing dentist, he is very transparent and organised; at the first appointment he checks everything and writes down all possible options for your treatment. There are never hidden prices or unpleasant surprises. Thank you!
