Elective treatment deserves a sober look at scope, appointments and expense. Jefferson residents can use this page to work out what is worth asking before committing to any gumline work.
Let's find a time
Asking what gum contouring costs seems like an easy question, but a fair answer needs facts about your mouth. Reshaping a little tissue on a few teeth is quite a different undertaking from surgically adjusting bone across several of them.
An assessment at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg is how those facts get established. After that, you can ask for an estimate and find out how many appointments are likely, then decide on your own schedule whether to go ahead.
Explore gum contouring
A plan covering more teeth is a larger piece of work, for treatment and for healing alike.
Whether bone must be adjusted is one of the biggest differences between possible plans.
Veneers, crowns or bonding planned afterward are separate decisions, each with its own timing and cost.
Ask which of these levels your plan involves, since comparing them as though they were the same thing would tell you very little.
Limited changes can be made with a laser or other precise instrument, provided the bone is already suitably distant from the planned margin.
Gaining more visible tooth where bone is too close calls for surgical access, possible bone adjustment and securing the gum at its intended height.
Costs are not listed here because they rest on your findings. Contact the clinic to ask about an estimate once a plan exists.
An assessment does not obligate you to proceed with treatment. Think of these steps as a way of gathering what you need to judge the value for yourself.
Request your visitDescribe exactly what you would like to change, and how strongly it bothers you. Your dentist can then speak to whether that aim is realistic.
Measurements and photos give a picture of gum, tooth and bone. Bone sounding or imaging may add to this if bone position is in doubt.
With options in front of you, request an estimate and the likely number of visits. Ask too what insurance information you might need to check.
No part of this has to be settled in the chair. Reflect on the options, including simply leaving your gumline as it is.
Whether any benefit applies to a cosmetic procedure depends on your insurer and your particular policy, so it is worth looking before you commit. Any amount you pay would depend on your plan and the treatment involved.
Ask the clinic what details your insurer would want, then raise the question with your provider directly.
A bench in our waiting area, and a chair in a treatment room.
Local anaesthetic handles comfort during treatment, while tenderness afterward depends on your plan. Part of judging whether something is worth it is knowing what those days might ask of you.
Ask how your plan might affect your meals and routine during the early stage of recovery.
Soreness differs depending on how many teeth are treated and whether the work is limited to soft tissue.
Remember that a return appointment is part of the process, whichever level of treatment you choose.
What you get for the effort
The new line appears straight away, but early redness, swelling and unevenness are part of healing. Your result takes time to reveal itself, so give it longer than a few days before judging.
Expect to come back so closure and plaque control can be examined, and so any sutures can be removed.
Careful measuring aims for a stable outcome, though tissue can move back when anatomy has not been respected.
If restorations are planned, your margin may need to mature first, which affects when those costs arise.

Ask our teamNo figure is posted on this page, because the price rests on what your assessment finds and which level of care is recommended. Contact the clinic to ask about getting an estimate.
That varies by insurer and policy, and depends on the treatment involved. Check with your provider, and ask the clinic which details you should give them.
No. An assessment gives you information, and the decision on treatment remains yours once you have heard your options.
Possibly. Worn or short teeth can make bonding or veneers worth discussing, while some causes would not be helped by removing tissue at all.
Only you can weigh that, but a clear description of the possible change makes it easier. Ask your dentist what would realistically look different, and tell them how much it matters to you.
