Crown Lengthening: A Solution for "Gummy" Smiles
A "gummy" smile can overshadow the beauty of your teeth, making them appear shorter and affecting your smile's overall balance. Esthetic crown lengthening is a specialized procedure designed to reshape excess gum and bone tissue, revealing more of your natural tooth and creating a more proportionate, visually pleasing smile. This minimally invasive treatment can dramatically transform your appearance, boosting your self-esteem and making you proud to show off your smile.
Gum Lift: Elevate Your Smile's Aesthetics
A gum lift, also known as gingival contouring, is a precise procedure aimed at elevating and sculpting the gum line to enhance the symmetry and appeal of your smile. Ideal for patients with uneven gum lines or excessive gum coverage, a gum lift provides a harmonious, balanced look that complements your facial features. With our expert team's meticulous attention to detail, you can achieve a more attractive smile that radiates health and vitality.
Tissue Sculpting: Refining Your Smile's Contours
Tissue sculpting is an advanced cosmetic technique that involves reshaping the gum tissue around your teeth to create a more appealing and uniform appearance. This procedure can correct irregularities in the gum line, cover exposed root surfaces, and improve the overall esthetics of your smile. By carefully sculpting the tissue, we can enhance the natural beauty of your teeth, making your smile brighter and more captivating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can aesthetic gum procedures correct receding gums?
While aesthetic gum procedures primarily focus on reducing excess gum tissue and reshaping the gum line for a more appealing smile, treatments like gum grafting can address gum recession by adding tissue to areas where the gums have receded.
How long do the results of aesthetic gum procedures last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental care, the results of aesthetic gum procedures can be long-lasting. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding tobacco products can also help preserve the appearance of your gums.
How do I care for my gums after an aesthetic gum procedure?
Post-procedure care is crucial for a successful recovery. This includes following a soft diet, avoiding vigorous brushing or flossing in the treated area, and adhering to any specific instructions provided by your periodontist. Regular check-ups will ensure proper healing and maintenance of your gum health.
Will my dental insurance cover aesthetic gum procedures?
Coverage depends on your specific dental insurance plan and whether the procedure is considered cosmetic or necessary for oral health. We recommend consulting with your insurance provider and our office to understand your coverage options.
How long does recovery from an aesthetic gum procedure take?
Recovery times can vary depending on the specific procedure and individual healing rates. Generally, patients can expect the initial healing phase to last a few days to a week, with complete gum healing occurring within a few weeks to a few months.

Modern aesthetic gum procedures are performed with minimal discomfort, thanks to advanced techniques and local anesthesia. Patients typically report feeling pressure rather than pain, and discomfort post-procedure can often be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
