For patients who have excessive gum tissue, teeth can appear stubby. What you may not know is that beneath that overgrown soft tissue, your teeth are just waiting to be revealed! If you have a gummy smile, we may recommend a gum lift, otherwise known as esthetic crown lengthening.

A simple cosmetic procedure called esthetic crown lengthening can be performed to correct the gummy smile. We'll talk with you about your options and what to expect during the procedure, then discuss the outcome you want to achieve. The procedure involves a minimally invasive surgery with minor post-op discomfort. The improved results are noticeable instantly. After a brief recovery, your new smile will look bold, beautiful, better than you thought possible!
