Effectiveness of Gum Lift

Your gums play just as important a role in your smile as your teeth. Your teeth can be as white as possible, but if they are overshadowed by excessive gum tissue, it can put a serious damper on your self-confidence. If you want a smile you can be proud of, visit our periodontist to learn more about the treatments available to you. Anyone who is hesitant about the results that are possible with a gum lift procedure should look at our gum lift before and after photos to see the smiles that can be achieved.

A gum lift is a cosmetic procedure that removes and reshapes excess gum tissue. It contours the gum line for a more balanced appearance. A gum lift aims to achieve an attractive gum-to-tooth ratio. If there is too much or too little gum tissue, it can make it seem as if the teeth are too oddly shaped. After the procedure, patients will instantly notice a more eye-catching smile.

The procedure usually only take a single appointment to complete, and there is no downtime, so you can go right back into your normal routine. Our dentist may recommend a soft diet for the following few days, and you will be given any specific aftercare instructions as well.
