Is Having a Gum Lift Really Necessary for Your Oral Health?

If your gums rest too low or too high on your teeth and you are unhappy with your smile, you may be a candidate for gum contouring surgery. Also called gum reshaping or tissue sculpting, this cosmetic dental procedure can even out an uneven gum line and give you a smile you can be proud of.

A number of things can cause your gums to be too low or too high. Gums that cover a large portion of your teeth can make your teeth look small. This may be the result of genetics, a particular health problem, or taking certain prescription drugs.

“ Not only can gum recession make your teeth look long, it can lead to serious dental problems such as decay and tooth loss. ”

Gums that are too high and make your teeth appear long are often caused by gum recession, a condition in which gum tissue pulls back from a tooth and exposes the tooth‘s root.

“I see Rochelle and she is fabulous. After a few bad experiences with dentists, I’m a little anxious going to the dentist so I’m really glad I found her. She’s kind, caring and makes me feel at ease. The whole team are really friendly, and welcoming so would highly recommend them.”

“My experiences at this clinic have all been outstanding. The most impressive part about my experience is the way John treats his patients. He speaks to you as a person to person, no arrogance, just because he’s a dentist.”
