Gum Recontouring
|
Short teeth and a “gummy” smile can often be corrected with a simple gum lift procedure resulting in longer, more youthful appearing teeth. Advanced cosmetic dentistry is no longer just for the rich and famous. You too can have a beautiful and healthy smile.
Gum recontouring, also known as gum reshaping or crown lengthening, can be done when there is an excess of gum tissue or an uneven gum line. Individuals may have an excessive amount of gum tissue covering a portion of their teeth, making the teeth appear smaller or less proportionate to the gums. This is the condition often referred to as a "gummy smile." For patients who have an uneven gum line, they may have a smile that makes teeth appear shorter or less symmetrical. Gum recontouring provides an improved smile by creating a better balance between the gums and teeth. |
