ALL COSMETIC DENTAL LASER GUM THERAPY
Say Goodbye to Uneven Gums with Our Gum Lift Service
Transform Your Smile with Laser Gum Treatment
At our clinic, we offer gum lift services to help enhance your smile and improve your oral health. Gum lift, also known as gum contouring, is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves reshaping or removing excess gum tissue to improve the appearance of your teeth and gums.
Our clinic uses the latest dental technology, including laser gum treatment and laser gum surgery, to ensure a safe, comfortable, and efficient gum lift procedure. Laser gum surgery is less invasive than traditional surgery, and it offers faster healing times, reduced pain, and minimal bleeding.
What is Gum Lift?
Asymmetrical gums or excessive gum display can make your teeth look small and create disharmony in your smile. Options to treat this esthetic dilemma are orthodontics, gum surgery (aka gum lift) or a combination of the two. A gum lift is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess tissue to show more of your white tooth structure hiding under the gums. Other terms for a gum lift include gingivectomy, gingival contouring, gum reshaping, and esthetic crown lengthening.
Following gum lift surgery, your appearance and self-esteem can dramatically improve. The net effect is more white tooth structure will show and less pink gums will show when you smile, creating better harmony.

The answer is sometimes. If the treatment is needed to improve the ratio of gums to teeth displayed when smiling, sometimes adding length to the teeth can help to achieve smile harmony. It’s best to discuss with your dentist first your appearance goals and see a simulation of what is possible before and after with a gum lift alone vs. a gum lift in combination with porcelain veneers or composite bonding.
Your recovery time will depend on the type of procedure you have, but generally, it takes 2-3 days for soreness to resolve. It can take 3-4 months for the gums to fully mature and settle into their final positions. This is particularly true of the gum tissue between teeth known as papilla. As the papilla regenerates, a void known as a “black triangle” may persist for up to 6 months.
A gum lift procedure is a short surgical procedure that reshapes the gum line and soft tissue. During your gum lift surgery, you will be perfectly numb and comfortable. Using prefabricated guides, we will remove the appropriate amount of gum tissue and in some cases, it may be necessary to remove some underlying bone to prevent the pink gum tissue from growing back to its original position. Sometimes sutures (aka stitches) are necessary, but usually they aren’t. The gums are typically sore for a few days as they heal, but oftentimes there is minimal to no soreness following this procedure.
Gum lifts, if done properly, are permanent procedures. In cases where bone is not removed when it should have been, the gums can grow right back to their original positions. Proper planning with a skilled dentist performing the procedure will prevent relapse. If botox has been recommended as a way to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile by decreasing lip movement when smiling, repeat injections will be needed every 3-6 months.
