Patients may have gum tissue that extends further over the teeth, which can affect the visible tooth length and overall appearance of the smile. Some people may feel self-conscious about the amount of gum visible when smiling and may wish to explore available treatment options. At Advanced Dental Care Clinic, we offer smile lift procedures for suitable patients following an individual clinical assessment.
A smile lift is a gum contouring procedure that involves reshaping excess gum tissue to increase the visible surface of the teeth where clinically appropriate. This treatment may be considered for patients whose gums cover a significant portion of the front teeth or other teeth visible when smiling. Patients with a high upper lip line may also be assessed to determine whether this treatment is suitable. In some cases, increased gum display may be related to underlying skeletal or structural factors, and alternative treatment options may be discussed based on the clinical findings.
If you are unsure whether a smile lift will work for your smile, call us today to organise a consultation. We work with patients, as a partnership, to resolve the oral condition whilst enhancing the appearance of your smile. She will consider all options and present you with the best treatment plan for your individual needs. Your treatment plan is individual, so our team will encourage you to ask any questions or present any concerns, making sure you are comfortable with the procedures and have a thorough understanding of what will happen.
At Advanced Dental Care Clinic, we utilise contemporary dental technologies, including laser dentistry, for selected treatment options. These technologies may be used in a range of procedures, including smile lift (gum contouring), where clinically appropriate. Smile lift procedures may be performed using the Fotona Lightwalker Dental Laser, depending on the individual clinical assessment and treatment plan.
Laser-assisted gum contouring involves reshaping excess gum tissue to increase the visible surface of the teeth, where suitable. Patient experience, including levels of discomfort, can vary between individuals, and appropriate measures are taken to support patient comfort during treatment. Before-and-after photographs may be taken with patient consent to assist in treatment planning and document clinical outcomes.
Our dental team aims to provide care in a supportive and professional environment, taking appropriate steps to promote patient comfort throughout each stage of the procedure.
We take a patient-centred approach, working with you to discuss suitable treatment options based on your individual needs and clinical assessment.
