Put Your Teeth in the Spotlight With Gum Surgery

Reshape Your Gums for a Beautiful Smile

If you’re considering cosmetic gum surgery, the first step is ensuring your gums are healthy. We will examine your gums and address any issues, like infection, that may cause swelling or an uneven appearance.

This may include a deep cleaning to restore gum health before proceeding with treatment.

Once your gums are ready, your dentist will perform the appropriate surgical treatment based on your goals. Options include:

  • Contouring your gumline for a smoother, more even appearance
  • Removing excess gum tissue to lengthen teeth, often in preparation for crowns or veneers

To ensure your comfort, we’ll thoroughly numb the treatment area and take steps to help you feel at ease throughout the procedure. Our team creates a relaxing and stress-free experience for every patient.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Gum Surgery

What is cosmetic gum surgery?

Cosmetic gum surgery, also known as gum contouring, is a dental procedure designed to reshape the gumline for esthetic purposes. It typically involves removing excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth crown, addressing issues like a gummy smile or uneven gumlines. This procedure can also be used to add gum tissue in cases where recession has occurred, helping to create a more balanced and attractive smile. 

How much does cosmetic gum surgery cost?

The cost of cosmetic gum surgery varies widely based on numerous factors. Your dentist will discuss what you can expect to pay for the procedure during your consultation. Since this is a cosmetic procedure, insurance typically doesn't cover the costs. However, we do have third-party financing options available.

Why would I need cosmetic gum surgery?

Like other cosmetic procedures, cosmetic gum surgery can improve your appearance and help you feel better about your smile. This increases your confidence in both business and social settings. In addition, removing excess gum tissue often makes it easier to receive dental restorations like veneers or crowns.
