Gum contouring & lifting

Your gums affect both your oral health and the aesthetics of your smile.

Having a beautiful look

The advanced laser technology at Kew Dentistry gently recontours and reshapes gums, which improves the size, shape and appearance of your teeth. After about 12 weeks, the gums are in their final position, dramatically improving your look.

Maintaining your dental health isn’t just about the teeth, but involves your gums as well. If your gums embarrass you or appear uneven, they can be corrected with a gum lift. A more balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile is created, and treatment can even be applied to one or two teeth to create a more symmetrical look.
