What is a Gum Lift?
Gum reshaping is a cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the balance between your teeth and gums, creating a more symmetrical and harmonious smile. For patients with a "gummy smile," excess gum tissue can often cause self-consciousness, but a gum lift can help restore confidence and enhance self-esteem. The advanced laser technology used in gum contouring typically results in minimal discomfort, allowing most patients to resume their normal activities almost right after the procedure.
What Are the Benefits of a Gum Lift?
A laser gum lift provides several benefits for those with a "gummy smile," including:
- Removal of excess gum tissue
- Enhanced balance and symmetry between the teeth and gums
- Minimal discomfort thanks to advanced laser technology
- Faster recovery time
What can I Expect During the Gum Lift Procedure?
Each gum lift procedure is tailored to the unique needs of the patient. To ensure comfort, a local anesthetic is applied before the procedure begins. Dr. Kooper utilizes advanced laser technology to carefully sculpt the gum tissue, improving the appearance of your teeth. The entire gum contouring process typically takes about one hour to complete.
