What Is a Gum Lift?

Also known as gingivectomy or crown lengthening, a gum lift is a cosmetic dental treatment that reshapes and removes excess gum tissue from the mouth, improving the smile's appearance. It is often used for patients with uneven tooth-to-gum ratios or gummy smiles. These conditions make teeth appear shorter or smaller than they are. This procedure can alleviate gum-related pain discomfort.

How Can a Gum Lift Help Me?

Here's how our gum lift treatments can improve your smile’s beauty and health:

Improved Teeth Aesthetics

After the excess gum is removed, your teeth will appear longer and more proportionate to your mouth, enhancing the look of your smile.

Preparedness for Dental Treatments

If you need a cosmetic or restorative appliance in the future, a gum lift can help achieve a better, natural-looking fit.

Better Oral Hygiene

Excess gum tissue can make cleaning your mouth difficult. With less of it, you can brush, floss, and rinse more effectively.

Am I a Candidate for a Gum Lift?

Your candidacy for gum lift treatment may depend on how much gum tissue you have, how difficult it makes daily activities like eating or speaking, and your overall oral health condition. Qualified candidates will have good oral health and be free of gum disease, infection, or decay. Ashly Cothern DDS will carefully inspect and examine your gums and teeth and determine whether a gum lift will meet your oral health needs and goals.

Payment Options & Insurance

Dental treatments must be paid for at the time of treatment. Our team can estimate out-of-pocket fees prior to your appointment for your convenience.
