To achieve a fully balanced and proportionate smile, Face Teeth Smile uses laser gum contouring at our Chalfont St Peter clinic to focus not just on the size, shape and colour of the teeth, but also on the gums. Many patients come to us with uneven gums or feel self-conscious about their ‘gummy’ smile. Using the latest advances in laser dentistry, we’re able to reshape the gums, even them out and achieve an immediate makeover.
When you visit us in Chalfont St Peter for laser gum reshaping, we’ll first carry out a full examination and discuss the results you’re looking to achieve. A digital design of the contoured gum shape is then produced for your approval. This shows you the before-and-after affect and ensures just the right amount of gum is removed. Even a small gum reduction can have transformational results.
To ensure you’re comfortable during the gum contouring treatment, the area is numbed using a local anaesthetic. Your expert clinician then follows the pre-agreed design and carefully reshapes the gums using a specialist soft-tissue laser.
By reducing the amount of gum that’s revealed and increasing the length of tooth on display, laser gum contouring instantly rebalances a gummy smile. It can also bring harmony to the appearance of your teeth by giving the gums a more uniform and even appearance. Severe gummy smiles may need a more surgical approach or a non-surgical injectable treatment.
Soft tissue gum lasering can also be used as an alternative to extraction for wisdom teeth. Gum reshaping around the teeth even avoids infection. Using a laser rather than a traditional scalpel offers the benefits of reduced pain during and after the procedure, no bleeding and quicker recovery.
Before & After
Faqs
At Face Teeth Smile in Chalfont St Peter, we use a precise, soft-tissue gum lasering process rather than a scalpel, meaning that post-op pain is dramatically reduced. You can expect some soreness for one or two days after gum contouring treatment, but this soon settles. There’s no swelling and very few patients need to take painkillers.
All Chalfont St Peter Face Teeth Smile clinicians are fully trained and experienced in laser gum contouring. By creating a digital design for the gums in advance, we can produce a stent. This is placed over the teeth and acts as a template to ensure the perfect amount of gum reduction.
Face Teeth Smile takes every gum contouring case on an individual basis. Results depend on the extent of gum that’s on show when you smile. Gum lasering is most effective when 0.5 to 2mm of gum is removed. To discuss the best laser gum reshaping solution for you, book a consultation with us.

I’ve just had my final appointment with Dr Raj after having Invisalign and composite bonding. I asked way too many questions but Dr Raj was always super quick with his replies and reassuring me, no question was ever too much. The final result of my teeth is incredible, after never smiling with my teeth, my teeth are always on show now. Dr Raj has given me so much confidence back and I can’t recommend him enough.

This man has changed my life. Ever since I was young, I always hated my teeth. Dentists said that I would need surgery and braces for 2 years. As a teenager, the thought of wearing a brace never appealed to me. As the years went on and my teeth moved further, I decided to get it sorted. I went to various people to get quotes and was amazed at some prices given to me. However, Dr Raj treated a friend and was recommended. I decided to go and visit and get his opinion. The first thing I noticed was that Dr Raj was focused on the outcome. He was a perfectionist. Price came second. I decided to go for the invisalign, whitening and composite package and never looked back. If there were issues, he was there to sort. Dr Raj wasn't happy with one tooth moving millimeters, so decided to get more invisalign retainers made (free of charge unlike competitors). The whitening was easy and the bonding was a great experience as I witnessed a sculpture creating their masterpiece. I would recommend anyone who is contemplating sorting their teeth to see Dr Raj. I promise that you won't regret it. Thanks again Face Teeth Smile and I will be seeing you soon!
