Gum Lift

 

A gum lift is a procedure involving gum and/or bone removal around the front teeth making the teeth longer. This can have a dramatic effect in turning a “gummy” short tooth smile into a much prettier smile. A gum lift can be done with or without other tooth enhancements such as porcelain veneers. If a gum lift is recommended after a smile analysis, other cosmetic treatment should NOT be completed without this procedure or the end result will be compromised. It is not unusual for the area to be sensitive for about a week.
