Even the most beautiful teeth can take a back seat in your smile if you have too much gum tissue. An overly “gummy” smile can make your gorgeous grin seem uneven or off balance, or your teeth smaller or stubbier than they really are. With a cosmetic gum lift, your cosmetic dentist in Bullard will permanently remove the excess periodontal tissue at the base of the teeth that could make your teeth appear smaller, creating a stunning, well-balanced smile.

What is a Cosmetic Gum Lift?

Using a soft tissue laser, Dr. Morgan will carefully reshape the gumline for either aesthetic purposes or to fit a dental crown over a tooth. This procedure permanently removes excess periodontal tissue, eliminating the appearance of a gummy smile, and making the teeth look more proportionate and putting them back into focus in your smile.

How Do Cosmetic Gum Lifts Work?

First, Dr. Morgan will administer local anesthetics to your gums to ensure you remain comfortable during your procedure. Once numb, he will use the soft tissue laser to carefully remove only the excess. Because the laser uses concentrated light to vaporize it, it instantly cauterizes tissue on contact. This means you should not need sutures or stitches and should experience very little bleeding.

Recovering from a laser cosmetic gum lift is also much easier than it is with traditional surgery. The laser not only helps prevent infection, but overall discomfort is typically much less intense.
