Call us today at 928-770-1042 to schedule a consultation!
A gummy smile happens when your gums cover too much of your teeth, making them look shorter than they are. This can be due to genetics, medications, or how your teeth erupted. With gum contouring, also known as crown lengthening or gingivectomy, we can reshape your gum tissue to expose more of your natural tooth and create a more balanced, attractive smile.
What to Expect From Treatment?
Gum contouring is a minimally invasive procedure that can often be completed in just one visit. Using special tools, Dr. Jin gently removes excess gum tissue and sculpts your gumline for a more symmetrical and natural appearance. The treatment is designed with your comfort in mind, and most patients experience only mild soreness afterward.
You may be a good candidate for cosmetic gum surgery if you have:
- Excess gum tissue that hides your teeth
- An uneven or lopsided gumline
- Gums that make your teeth look too short
