Gum lifts fast facts
Gum lifts are used to reshape uneven or excess gum tissue, creating a more balanced smile. By exposing more of the tooth’s surface, we can better manage gum disease, and make placing crowns or fillings easier and more effective.
At our clinic in Burgess Hill, our specialist periodontist can significantly lift your confidence and self-esteem as well as your gum. You can enjoy a more youthful-looking and proportional smile, with improved oral health too.

What does the treatment involve?
We begin your gum lift treatment with a consultation. We assess your case, make sure you are suitable for treatment, and discuss the procedure with you. We also give you the chance to ask us any questions.
We use local anaesthetic to ensure you stay comfortable during treatment. Once your mouth is numb, we remove the excess gum tissue that can trap bacteria and debris and affect your oral health. We reshape your gums and close deep pockets, adding sutures to keep the gum in its new position.
Following the procedure, your gums will naturally heal and reattach to your teeth. Initial healing typically takes 1-2 weeks with full recovery and regeneration taking a few months.

Crown lengthening procedures and gum lifts typically cost from £950 at our specialist clinic in Burgess Hill. We offer finance payment options, including 0% interest and interest-bearing terms, giving you the chance to spread the cost of your treatment, subject to status.
The procedure itself is not painful, as we use local anaesthetic to numb the affected area of your mouth. After your gum lift, you can expect some discomfort, but this can be managed with over-the-counter painkillers.
