FRAMING THE TEETH AND ENHANCING THE SMILE
Gum contouring or gum sculpting is a procedure where the gum line is repositioned so a greater percentage of that person’s teeth is revealed. Gum contouring can correct nonsymmetrical gum tissue when the appearance of one tooth is longer than the other. Another need for gum contouring is when the gingival margins of all the teeth are at the same height or the teeth appear to be too short, producing a gummy smile.
With a simple surgical procedure the gum tissue can be contoured to a more esthetically balanced appearance. |
Gum contouring or a cosmetic gum lift is a remarkably easy procedure that can make a tremendous difference to one’s smile. Healthy, well-contoured gum tissue compliments and frames the teeth, which will enhance the beauty of every smile.
