Description

Gum reshaping, also known as “crown-lengthening” and more commonly referred to as a gum lift, has historically been used to treat gum disease. It is only within recent years that dentists have used this procedure for aesthetic purposes. This treatment can lengthen the appearance of your teeth by reshaping your gums.

The gum lift is a cosmetic dental procedure that raises and sculpts the gum line. This procedure involves reshaping the tissue and/or underlying bones to create the appearance of longer or symmetrical teeth, thereby making the smile more aesthetically pleasing. This procedure is typically done to reduce excessively gummy smiles or to balance out an asymetrical gum line.

Overview
Cosmetic surgery of the gums will help patients achieve an attractive smile whose smiles show a bit more gum than teeth. The procedure removes extra gum tissue using a laser to expose more tooth surface.
