What happens after gum reshaping
Cosmetic & Orthodontics for Stony Mountain Residents
Gum contouring continues well after the appointment itself. Before you decide, ask at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg how healing, follow-up and any later cosmetic work would fit together.

Planning for the healing stage
The gumline shifts right away. Settling takes longer.
Tissue may look red, swollen or uneven in the early period, and nobody should judge the final contour in the first few days. That matters for people in Stony Mountain, who live outside the City of Winnipeg and would come in to Winnipeg North Dental for treatment and for the review that follows it.
Follow-up checks how the tissue is closing and how well plaque is being controlled, with any sutures removed if they were used. The margin then keeps maturing before final restorative decisions are confirmed. If crown lengthening is needed because bone sits too close to the planned gumline, the procedure is surgical and tenderness may differ.

Numbed for treatment
Local anaesthetic keeps the area comfortable while the planned margin is marked and the tissue is reshaped.
Directions for home
You receive guidance on cleaning, rinsing, diet and medication, so the area can heal without being disturbed.
A review to plan for
A follow-up looks at closure and plaque control, so ask early how that visit would be scheduled around your trip.

Before you commit
Sort out the timeline along with the treatment.
Ask these questions ahead of time, when they can still shape your decision and your calendar.
Request your visit- 01
Raise the gumline concern
Mention what you see when you smile, and that you would be travelling from Stony Mountain. You could also ask how long an assessment visit usually lasts.
- 02
Have the cause identified
Photographs, measurements and sometimes imaging compare gum levels and locate the supporting bone, because worn teeth or lip movement can look like excess gum.
- 03
Line up the follow-up
If treatment suits you, ask when the review would happen, whether more than one is likely, and whom to contact with a question while you are healing.

Helpful details about cosmetic & orthodontics in Stony Mountain.
Ask our teamHow will my gums look in the first few days?
Redness, swelling and some unevenness can occur while the tissue heals. These early days are not a fair picture of where the contour will end up.
Will I be sore on the way home?
Tenderness varies with how many teeth are involved and whether bone was treated as well. You will get personalized instructions and comfort measures, so ask what to expect.
Is a laser always used?
A dental laser may be appropriate for selected soft-tissue changes. Access, tissue thickness or the need for bone adjustment can call for other instruments or techniques.
Can veneers follow soon after?
Timing depends on where and how much contouring is done. Final scans, impressions or bonding may have to wait until the gum margin matures.
Why measure the bone for a change in my gums?
Tissue can rebound toward its original position if the underlying anatomy is not respected. Enough space between bone and the new margin supports stable tissue health.
Whom can Stony Mountain patients call while healing?
Phone Winnipeg North Dental at (204) 338-3003 about any concern during recovery. For a non-urgent appointment request, this page’s form works as well.
