Gums frame the artwork that is our teeth. Uneven gum margins or overgrown gums can disrupt the aesthetics of a smile, making it look uneven or giving the appearance of small teeth or a gummy smile.
Dr. Manrina Rhode is one of the few cosmetic dental surgeons who performs her own gum surgery and has been doing so for the past 16 years. She repositions the gums to achieve the perfect aesthetic. This can be done simply with a laser or may require a surgical approach.
DRMR is one of the few clinics in the UK equipped with a Waterlase laser. This advanced technology allows us to contour gums effortlessly in minutes, often eliminating the need for a scalpel or stitches. Just as eye surgeons wouldn’t perform surgery without a laser, the same is becoming true in dentistry. While other dental practices are still catching up, at DRMR we use lasers for appropriate procedures, including our top-of-the-range Waterlase.

Veneers, combined with gum contouring or reshaping, offer a comprehensive approach to creating a harmonious, balanced smile that radiates beauty and confidence. At DRMR, led by the renowned cosmetic dentist Dr. Manrina Rhode, we excel in the art of smile transformations that not only focus on the teeth but also consider the importance of gum aesthetics. This holistic approach ensures results that are not just beautiful but also perfectly tailored to each individual’s facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Enhancing Smile Symmetry with Gum Contouring
Gum contouring or reshaping is a delicate procedure aimed at correcting uneven gum lines, excessive gum tissue, or receding gums that can detract from the overall appearance of a smile. When gums are too high, they can make the teeth appear long and aged, whereas gums that are too low can make the teeth look short and stubby, overshadowing even the most beautifully crafted veneers in London. By carefully sculpting the gum line, Dr. Manrina Rhode can create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing framework for veneers, enhancing the natural symmetry and proportionality of the smile.
The Role of Veneers in Smile Aesthetics
Veneers play a crucial role in transforming the visible aspects of teeth, including their colour, shape, size, and alignment. When combined with gum contouring, veneers can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, from discolouration and chips to gaps and misalignment. The use of high-quality materials such as porcelain ensures that veneers not only mimic the natural appearance of tooth enamel but also offer durability and stain resistance. This synergy between gum contouring and veneers allows for a comprehensive smile makeover that achieves a natural, cohesive look.
A Tailored Approach to Each Patient
Understanding that every smile is unique, DRMR places great emphasis on a customised treatment plan that considers the individual’s facial features, smile dynamics, and personal aesthetic preferences. Dr. Manrina Rhode’s expertise in both veneer application and gum contouring ensures that each step of the process is carefully planned and executed to achieve optimal results. This tailored approach guarantees that the outcome not only enhances the teeth and gums but also complements the overall facial aesthetics, contributing to a more youthful and vibrant appearance.
The Benefits of Combining Veneers with Gum Contouring
- Improved Proportions: Balanced ratio between teeth and gums, enhancing the overall harmony of the smile.
- Increased Confidence: By addressing both tooth and gum aesthetics, patients can enjoy a significant boost in self-esteem and confidence in their entire appearance.
