Gumlift / Gumline Recontouring

You may look at your smile and think, “My teeth are pretty but my smile is too gummy” or “My teeth do not look long enough”. The solution to this problem may be a Cosmetic Gum Lift. Gum Lift, also known as Gum-line Contouring, is a process in which your gum volume is reshaped. This procedure is usually accomplished with our Biolase Water laser.

When looking at what is considered to be a beautiful smile, it's not only nice teeth that you see; you also see a symmetrical gum line with an aesthetically pleasing ratio of gum-to-tooth .If your teeth remain partially covered by your gum tissue, we can remove enough of this excess gum to showcase your teeth, and create the right proportion for your smile. Asymmetry of gum tissue is another common problem, when there are one or two teeth that have a lower gum line than the rest of the teeth in your smile. This is distracting and takes away from the beauty of your smile. Evening off the gum lines of these teeth will make the whole smile look better, bringing the ratio of gum-to-tooth closer to an ideal.
