What is a Gum Lift?

A gum lift is a dental procedure that shapes your gums to show more of your teeth, improving your smile. It's used to fix a "gummy smile" or uneven gums, making your teeth look longer and more balanced. The treatment removes extra gum tissue to reveal more of your teeth. It’s also called gum reshaping or crown lengthening.

We offer gum lift treatments that are easy and comfortable. If you're looking for a "gum expert near me," come visit us for a smooth recovery and a better smile.
