What Is a Gingivectomy (Laser Gum Contouring)?

Laser gum contouring, clinically known as a gingivectomy or gum lift, reshapes excess gum tissue to reveal more of the natural tooth. It is commonly chosen by people whose smile shows more gum than they would like, or whose gum line sits unevenly across their front teeth. The laser works precisely and seals as it goes, which is why discomfort is minimal and healing is fast.

Why Gum Contouring Is Done Before Veneers or Crowns

When the gum line is reshaped first, the final veneer or crown can be designed to sit evenly against it, so the finished result looks symmetrical. If you are considering veneers, it is worth having both assessed together; see our veneers cost guide.

What to Expect During Laser Treatment

Your dentist maps the new gum line with you before starting, the area is numbed if needed, and the laser reshapes the tissue precisely with minimal bleeding. Most treatments are completed in a single visit, and most patients return to their normal routine straight away with simple aftercare instructions.

Is Laser Dentistry Covered by Health Insurance?

It depends on whether the treatment is cosmetic or clinically required. Some funds provide partial cover under general or major dental; check your policy and level of cover, and we can give you the item numbers before treatment.
