Gum Lifts & Contouring Melbourne to reduce Gummy Smiles

 

Some people have teeth that look too short or show to much gum when they smile, typically referred to as”gummy” smile. A procedure called crown lengthening or “gum lift” is often used to remove the excess of gum, and expose the beautiful tooth that is hiding underneath. In fact, your gum line can be carefully sculpted to create just the right proportion between gum and tooth, which will result in a better looking smile. Gum contouring can also make porcelain or composite veneers, crowns and/or bridges look more natural, leading to an improvement in the aesthetics of your smile.

If the gum is uneven around a tooth, gum contouring can smooth and balance the way your tooth and gum look. This comfortable procedure can help you achieve that natural looking, symmetrical gum line that is aesthetically pleasing.

Gum Lifts, Gum Reshaping and Contouring is a cosmetic dental procedure that raises and sculpts the gum line to improve the aesthetic appearance of one’s smile.

Reshaping of the gums can create subtle but effective improvements on your overall smile. This treatment is often overlooked and leads to unbalanced gum heights and potentially a more “gummy smile”.

Having healthy, stippled, and balanced gums can frame your teeth to create a more aesthetic smile. Gum reshaping, with or without Porcelain Veneers can help balance the gums within one session to rejuvenate your smile.

How is Gum Reshaped?

Gum Lifts, Gum Reshaping and Contouring Melbourne Victoria Australia

There are a number of different cosmetic dentistry techniques that can be used to improve the appearance of the gums. A gum lift can involve using a laser or electrosurgical device to painlessly reshape the gum line, by increasing or reducing its length, so that it better fits the structure of the teeth. In more extensive cases the gum reshaping procedure may involve the removal of bone and gum through dental surgery.
