Should teeth bleaching be done before or after a gum lift?

Hi there and thank you for your question. It would be ideal to wait until you have your procedure and your gum tissue has completely healed so that the entire surface of the tooth can benefit from the whitening. Good luck!

Gum
contouring, which is sometimes called a gum lift, removes excess gum tissue
around the teeth. This exposes more of the teeth, making them look longer.
Accordingly, I would suggest undergoing a gum lift before bleaching the teeth,
so that the newly exposed portions of the teeth also benefit. At my practice, I
often combine gum contouring with lip lowering surgery to reduce the appearance
of a gummy smile. For the best possible results, I recommend looking for a
periodontist with experience in this technique. Good luck.

Do the gum lift first and the bleaching after the gum lift has healed. This will allow the newly exposed tooth structure to be bleached also.
