Procedure Overview
The entire gum lift procedure typically takes less than an hour, and recovery is generally quick, with most patients healing within one to two weeks.
- Consultation and Planning
During your initial consultation, your dentist will assess your gum line and discuss your goals for the procedure. We’ll use this time to plan out the precise areas to be contoured and determine how much gum tissue to remove to achieve your ideal smile. - Preparation and Anesthesia
Before starting the procedure, we’ll administer local anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable and pain-free. For patients with dental anxiety, additional sedation options may be available to enhance relaxation. - Reshaping the Gum Line
Using laser technology, we carefully remove excess gum tissue and reshape the gum line to achieve a balanced, even contour that enhances the appearance of your teeth. - Final Adjustments and Cleaning
Once the gum line is reshaped, we make any necessary adjustments to ensure symmetry and polish the area for a clean, smooth finish. The laser helps minimize bleeding and promotes faster healing.
