Who needs Gum Contouring & Laser Dentistry Treatment?

Discover if Gum Contouring & Laser Dentistry treatment is the right solution for your goals.

  • Anyone with a Gummy Smile

    If too much gum shows when you smile, contouring can reveal more of your natural teeth.

  • Uneven Gum Lines

    If your gums are higher or lower in spots, laser contouring creates a more symmetrical, balanced look.

  • Gum Recession

    If your gums have pulled back, exposing roots, we can reshape and protect your smile.

  • Frequent Gum Irritation

    Removing excess tissue can reduce irritation and make daily care easier and more comfortable.

  • Preparing for Restorations

    If you need crowns or veneers, gum contouring can create the ideal foundation for lasting results.

  • Those with Oral Hygiene Challenges

    If excess gum tissue makes brushing or flossing difficult, contouring can make daily care easier and more effective.

    Being new to the area I had the need for an urgent filling. I found the practice very patient and caring, as I also have a mega phobia of dentists, but everyone was really good and efficient and the best part was “it didn’t hurt”. Go Teneriffe Dental. I’ve actually made an appointment for follow-up work. Thanks, Virginia

    I have a fear of dentists from several bad experiences. Dr Hayden and Grace made me feel completely comfortable and I even had a pain free filling replacement. Most relaxed I’ve ever been at a dentist. Highly recommend

    Visiting the dentist has never been such a pleasant experience for me. Dr. Stewart is a wonderful person; just talking to him left a positive impression. His level of communication with patients is exceptional. I had very pleasant feelings about the clinic itself; it turns out that the art on the walls is the work of Dr. Stewart. I definitely recommend this place to everyone in and around Newstead and Tenerife—you won't regret.

Q&A

FAQ's

We’re here to provide clear answers to any question you might have. Browse our frequently asked questions below or contact us directly for personalised information.

How long does gum contouring last?

Gum contouring results typically last a lifetime as the reshaped gum tissue doesn't grow back. This permanent smile enhancement removes excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural teeth.

How painful is gum contouring?

Gum contouring is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you feel minimal discomfort during the procedure. Most patients report mild tenderness for 1-3 days afterward, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Our cosmetic dentist in Brisbane prioritises your comfort throughout treatment and will provide detailed aftercare instructions to minimise any post-procedure sensitivity.

Is gum contouring safe?

Yes, gum contouring is a safe, established procedure when performed by an experienced dentist. The treatment uses precise laser or surgical techniques to reshape gum tissue with minimal risk. Complications are rare but may include temporary sensitivity or minor swelling.

Your dentist will thoroughly evaluate your oral health before recommending this smile enhancement procedure to ensure it's appropriate for you.

How long is recovery from gum contouring?

Recovery from gum contouring typically takes 7-10 days. Most patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours, with mild swelling and tenderness gradually subsiding throughout the first week.

Complete healing of gum tissue occurs within two weeks. Our dental team in Brisbane provides comprehensive aftercare guidance to ensure optimal healing and comfort during your smile transformation recovery.

How long after gum contouring can you eat?

You can eat soft foods immediately after gum contouring, though you should wait about 2 hours until the anesthesia wears off completely to avoid accidentally biting yourself. Stick to cool, soft foods for the first 24 hours. Avoid spicy, acidic, or crunchy foods for about a week.

Your cosmetic dentist in Brisbane will provide specific dietary guidelines to support proper healing of your newly contoured gumline.
