Gum Lift in Sydney
Transform your gummy smile with a dental gum lift
At Designer Smiles, we are proud to offer advanced laser gum lift treatment to enhance the aesthetics of your smile.
Recontouring the gums is easier than you think. With the help of the principles of smile design and careful planning, it is possible to reshape the gums with laser. The procedure is called a Gum Lift and is a quick, convenient and painless way to treat a gummy smile.
Gum lift involves adjustment of the gum line in a manner that less of it is displayed when you smile. Also, it improves the teeth length ratio to width, making them appear rectangular in shape.
How Laser Gum Lift Improves Your Smile
Laser gum lift treatment is a precise and minimally invasive procedure designed to reshape the gum line and create better balance between your teeth and gums. Using advanced dental laser technology, excess gum tissue is gently recontoured to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile and improve the overall proportions of your teeth.
The procedure is typically quick and comfortable, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort and rapid healing. In many cases, recovery takes approximately 1 to 2 weeks, allowing you to return to normal activities soon after treatment.
Once the gum line has been refined, the teeth themselves can be further enhanced to achieve an ideal cosmetic result. Porcelain veneers are often recommended following a gum lift, as they improve the shape, length, and symmetry of the teeth. This combination allows for a complete smile transformation that looks natural, balanced, and aesthetically refined.
In some cases, gum lift treatment can also be combined with composite bonding and completed in a single visit.
At Designer Smiles Sydney, Specialist Prosthodontist Dr Sarkis Nalbandian carefully plans each gum lift procedure using advanced smile design principles. This ensures the final result complements your facial features and delivers a natural, harmonious smile.
Benefits of Laser Gum Lift Treatment
Laser gum lift treatment offers a precise and minimally invasive way to improve the appearance of a gummy smile and enhance overall smile balance. Key benefits include:
- Improved smile proportions: Reshaping the gum line reveals more of the natural tooth structure, creating better proportions between the teeth and gums.
- Minimally invasive and comfortable procedure: Advanced laser technology allows for gentle and precise gum contouring with minimal discomfort compared to traditional surgical methods.
- Faster healing and recovery: Laser treatment promotes efficient healing, with most patients recovering within 1 to 2 weeks and experiencing minimal disruption to their daily routine.
- Long-lasting aesthetic improvement: Once the gum line is reshaped and stabilised, results are permanent, providing lasting enhancement to your smile.
- Increased confidence when smiling: Reducing excess gum visibility helps patients feel more confident and comfortable showing their smile.
While laser treatment is a popular option, other approaches may be suitable depending on your needs. Thorough diagnostics and expert planning are essential to select the best method and achieve optimal, long-lasting results.

Gummy Smile Treatment FAQs
A laser gum lift, also known as laser gum contouring or laser gum reshaping, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using advanced laser technology to reshape the gum line. This treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals with excessive gum tissue, which can make the teeth appear shorter and lead to a gummy smile.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. The laser technology is gentle, and local anaesthetic ensures the procedure is comfortable. Recovery is typically smooth, with most patients healing within 1–2 weeks.
A laser gum lift usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the area treated. If combined with veneers or bonding, additional time may be required to complete the smile transformation.
In some cases, minor adjustments can be combined with composite bonding in a single visit. Porcelain veneers are usually planned after the gum lift to ensure optimal fit, shape, and aesthetic results.
Results from a laser gum lift are permanent, as the gum line is reshaped. Porcelain veneers are durable and can last 10–15 years with proper care, maintaining a beautiful, balanced smile.
Laser gum lift is safe when performed by a specialist. Minor swelling or sensitivity is common during healing. Dr Sarkis Nalbandian will provide personalised post-care instructions to ensure the best results.
