What Is a Gum Lift?

A gum lift is a cosmetic dental procedure that reshapes or removes excess gum tissue to expose more of the teeth, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. This procedure can significantly enhance the appearance of your teeth and smile by creating a more proportionate gum line.

Am I a Candidate for a Gum lift?

Determining if you're a candidate for a gum lift involves several key factors:

Excessive Gum Tissue: You have a "gummy smile" where an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible when you smile.

Uneven Gum Line: Your gum line is irregular or asymmetrical, creating an uneven appearance that may impact the balance and harmony of your teeth and smile.

Good Oral Health: You maintain healthy teeth and gums, free from significant periodontal disease, cavities, or other dental issues.

What to Expect During the Procedure

During a gum lift procedure, your dentist will numb the area with local anesthesia and reshape or remove excess gum tissue using a laser or scalpel. The procedure usually takes one to two hours. After the procedure, you’ll receive care instructions and have follow up appointments to ensure proper healing and comfort throughout your recovery.

Reviews

Dr. Vanessa Mancuso performed oral surgery and implant bone grafts for dental implant retention. She is superior in her field of periodontics. The surgery was painless, and she demonstrated a gentle, kind, and lighthearted demeanor throughout the process. I highly recommend her services.

I recently had oral surgery performed by Dr. V. Mancuso. I received excellent care, with three follow-up visits by Dr. Mancuso. She always guided me on what to do to ensure the healing of the wound would be effective. At this time, everything is perfect, and I got my teeth back. I salute Dr. Mancuso.

I want to compliment Dr. Vanessa Mancuso on the excellent work she performed on my recent gum operation. I am very grateful to her that the operation was successful. The after-operation care I received from Dr. Vanessa Mancuso was very professional, and the healing process has been smooth.

More About Gum Lifts

Gum Lift Cost

The cost of a gum lift can vary significantly depending on several factors such as the complexity of the procedure, the amount of gum tissue that needs to be reshaped, and the expertise of the periodontist. It's important to have a thorough consultation to get an accurate estimate based on your specific needs and treatment plan.


Can You Get Rid of a Gummy Smile Naturally?

While there are natural remedies that might slightly improve the appearance of a gummy smile, such as maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding habits that could worsen gum overgrowth, they are generally not sufficient for significant corrections. Professional treatments like a gum lift are more effective for achieving a noticeable and lasting improvement in the appearance of a gummy smile.


Do Gums Recede with Age?

Gum recession is a common issue that can occur with age. Factors contributing to receding gums include poor oral hygiene, aggressive brushing, periodontal disease, and genetic predisposition. Regular dental check-ups and maintaining good oral hygiene can help manage and prevent further gum recession. If you notice significant changes in your gums, it's important to seek professional advice to address the issue appropriately.


Gummy Smile Correction

Gummy smile correction involves various techniques, with a gum lift being one of the most effective methods. This procedure reshapes excess gum tissue to expose more of the teeth, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. Other methods might include orthodontics or even jaw surgery, depending on the underlying cause of the gummy smile. Consulting with a periodontist will help determine the best approach for your specific case.
