A gum lift is a cosmetic dental treatment used to reshape the gum line.
It may be considered when the gums sit too low over the teeth, appear uneven, or make the teeth look shorter than they are.
By carefully adjusting the gum line, a gum lift can help create better tooth proportions, increase the amount of visible tooth, and make your smile appear more harmonious and attractive.
A gum lift may be considered if you are concerned about:
Whether a gum lift is suitable depends on your gum health, tooth shape, smile proportions and the amount of gum tissue involved.
A gum lift is often planned as part of a broader cosmetic treatment plan.
In some cases, it may be combined with veneers, crowns or Invisalign to help improve the overall balance of the smile.
The goal is not simply to remove gum tissue, but to create proportions that look natural and suit your smile.
At New Millennium Dental, gum lift treatment may be performed using laser dentistry in suitable cases.
Laser treatment can precisely reshape the gum line, help reduce bleeding during treatment, and may result in quicker recovery times and greater comfort.
In some cases, reshaping of the underlying bone may also be required to achieve a stable long-term result. We will explain this during your consultation if it applies to your situation.
Before recommending a gum lift, we assess your teeth, gums, smile line and overall oral health.
We will also consider whether gum reshaping alone is likely to achieve the result you want, or whether another treatment may be more appropriate.
Our aim is to recommend a treatment plan that looks natural, functions well and supports long-term gum health.
If you are concerned about a gummy smile or an uneven gum line, we can assess your smile and discuss whether a gum lift may be suitable.
