Fixing a Gummy Smile
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your ‘gummy’ smile, uneven gum-line or short looking teeth, Aesthetic Crown Lengthening and Gum contouring can be used to correct and improve your concerns.

It is a surgical procedure in which gum tissue is re-contoured to expose more of the tooth.
It is normally performed to improve the health of gum tissue or to prepare the patient's mouth for a restorative or cosmetic procedure.

Your teeth may be the proper length, but they may be covered with too much gum tissue.
Here at Dental Art we can surgically reshape the gum and supporting tissues to reduce the appearance of a ‘gummy’ smile and uncover the teeth covered by too much gum.
This can be done to a single tooth or multiple teeth to even out your gum line, and to create a beautiful harmonious smile with the teeth and gums.
We also work closely with an Advanced Dental Technician to digitally design your smile so you can appreciate the final result before we even start treatment.

After careful and diligent planning your dentist with numb the area and then proceed to precisely remove your excess gum and supporting tissues using a dental laser.
