Are you tired of your “gummy smile”? A gummy smile is when your gums are excessively larger or bulky, rising up your teeth and giving them the appearance of being too short. Our dentists can correct this cosmetic flaw using cosmetic gum surgery, also known as a gingivectomy or crown lengthening.

This treatment is fairly simply, we remove a small amount of gum tissue, allowing more of your tooth structure and giving you a smile that you can feel proud to share. Cosmetic gum surgery is possible to perform in as little as one visit to our dental office.

If your gums are too bulky and you suffer from a gummy smile, or if your gumline is uneven or lopsided, cosmetic gum surgery may be the solution for you.
