"Gummy Smile" or Short Teeth

Before After

If your teeth look too short and your smile is too gummy or your gums cover too much of some teeth while leaving others the right length, crown lengthening might be the solution. During this procedure, excess gum tissue is removed to expose more of the crown of the
tooth. Your gum line is then sculpted.

Smile Enhancer
Many smiles can be dramatically improved by fully exposing the teeth. This procedure can also put the finishing touches on newly straightened teeth for those who have finished or will soon finish their orthodontic treatment.

Pre-Veneer Gum-Lift
Patients who are considering having dental veneers placed to improve the appearance of their teeth should consider having their gum tissue evaluated first. The smile is composed of the teeth, gums, and lips. The lips represent the frame and the gums act as matting around the picture which is the teeth. All must be in harmony for the best esthetic result. The examples show how by first performing the gum-lift procedure, the final results are outstanding.
