Benefits of fixing your gummy smile
Boost your confidence
If your low gum line is making you self-conscious about your smile, a gum lift can do wonders for your self-esteem. Having a smile you want to share with the world makes you feel better and gives you the confidence to take on any challenge.
Achieve a healthier mouth
Gummy smiles are primarily a cosmetic concern for patients. But a gum lift can also improve your oral health. Reducing excess gum tissue minimizes the number of bacteria that can form over time and makes cleaning your teeth at home much easier.
Easy recovery
The results of a gum lift can be life changing, but that doesn’t mean you have to endure a painful healing process. In fact, the recovery period is simple and quick. While you might experience some gum sensitivity, you shouldn’t feel any significant pain or discomfort. The majority of patients can return to their normal schedules the very next day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gum Lift
A gummy smile can occur when excess gum tissue covers more of the teeth than desired, making the teeth appear shorter or creating an uneven gumline. In appropriate cases, gum contouring can reshape the gumline by removing excess tissue to create a more balanced appearance.
The number of appointments varies based on the extent of treatment. Gum contouring may be completed in a single procedure, with a follow-up visit recommended in some cases to evaluate healing and the treated gumline.
Recovery varies depending on the amount of tissue treated and your individual healing process. You may experience some tenderness or sensitivity following the procedure. Your dental team will provide specific aftercare instructions and let you know when you can resume your usual activities.
Yes. Reshaping the gumline can expose more of the natural tooth surface and help create a more balanced or symmetrical smile. Your dentist will carefully evaluate your teeth and gumline and plan the amount of contouring based on your individual smile.
Your gums will be numbed during the procedure to help keep you comfortable. Some tenderness or sensitivity may occur afterward, depending on the extent of treatment. Your dental team will provide aftercare recommendations to support a comfortable recovery.
You may be a candidate if excess or uneven gum tissue affects the appearance of your smile. Your dentist will evaluate your gums, teeth, oral health, and natural gumline to determine whether gum contouring is appropriate and what approach may provide the result you are looking for.
In some cases, gum contouring can improve the appearance of an uneven gumline by carefully reshaping areas where excess tissue creates an asymmetrical appearance. The amount of contouring possible depends on your natural gum and tooth structure.
Gum tissue that is removed during contouring generally does not grow back in the same way. However, the appearance of your gumline can change over time due to factors such as gum disease, inflammation, trauma, or changes in oral health. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental care can help support the health and appearance of your gums.
Your dentist will provide instructions based on your oral health and treatment plan. Before treatment, it is important to follow your dental team’s recommendations and address any existing oral health concerns that could affect treatment or healing.
