In most cases, a gum lift is an aesthetic treatment, like contouring. It reimagines your gumline, making it more symmetrical or improving on a gummy smile (too much gum showing when you smile).
Crown lengthening is more of a functional concern that addresses short or worn teeth. When teeth are short, the bite is not level, and specific teeth are taxed with most of the chewing, which can lead to premature wear and tear. An unlevel bite can also put undue stress on your jaw joints.
Consulting with Your Cosmetic Dentist in Prahran
Your dentist can examine your teeth and gums to ensure gum treatment or crown lengthening is suitable for you.
For gum lifts, we may use laser dentistry, which is a minimally invasive method. It relies on precise lasers, so you’ll have little to no downtime in most cases. With lasers instead of scalpels, you may have little to no bleeding.
For crown lengthening, your dentist may use specific restorations, such as tooth crowns, to level your bite across all teeth.

Traditional gum recontouring can be painful, but your cosmetic dentist in Prahran uses a gentle laser for less invasive treatment. While you might experience mild soreness after laser dentistry, it should not be painful, and minor discomfort should not last long.
All patients are unique, so experiences will vary.
What Is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the gumline, giving you a more symmetrical gum-to-tooth ratio. In other words, it corrects a gummy appearing smile when too much gum tissue shows when you smile.
Gum contouring can also provide an even gumline if you have symmetrical issues in specific areas.
Because we use laser dentistry rather than scalpels and instruments, you should enjoy a smooth recovery with no downtime.
Gum contouring can work alone, or you can roll it into a smile makeover that includes other options, such as:
- Dental Veneers
- Professional Teeth Whitening
- Dental Bonding
- Tooth-Coloured Restorations
Your dentist can help you choose suitable options for your smile goals. You can also ask about Digital Smile Design, software that produces mock-ups of how your smile will look after treatment.
