Gum Recontouring, also known as cosmetic gum surgery, gingivectomy, or crown lengthening, is a simple and effective treatment designed to reshape the gumline and enhance your smile. If your smile appears overly “gummy,” where your teeth look unusually short due to excess gum tissue, gum recontouring may be the perfect solution. This condition often results from gums covering more of the teeth than necessary, even if the teeth themselves are of normal size and shape.
Why Consider Gum Recontouring?
A gummy smile can make you feel self-conscious, even if your teeth are healthy. It addresses this by gently removing a small amount of gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth structure. As a result, your smile becomes more balanced and aesthetically pleasing. Additionally, if your gumline appears uneven or asymmetrical, this procedure can create a smoother, more harmonious look.
