Gummy smile treatment gently removes extra gum tissue to show more of your teeth. Using a special dental laser, your dentist will carefully and painlessly reshape your gumline, so your smile appears more balanced. You can typically return to your normal activities by the next day, with full healing in about two weeks.
Crown lengthening is perfect for teeth that look too short or square. During this procedure, we will adjust the gum levels around your teeth to create better proportions. This gum treatment is used not just to make your smile more attractive but to prepare you for a new crown, filling, or veneer. It exposes more of your tooth structure so it’s easier to place your restorations.
Gum grafting fixes areas where your gums have pulled away from your teeth, leaving roots exposed. During this procedure, your dentist will take a small piece of tissue from the roof of your mouth and carefully place it over the exposed roots. This natural approach using your own tissue leads to excellent, long-lasting results.
The grafted tissue blends naturally with your existing gums as it heals, for a healthier, more attractive smile. You’ll likely be surprised by how comfortable the process is, and you should be able to return to regular activities the next day. Full healing takes about two weeks. You’ll see your new gumline take shape during this time.

Cosmetic gum surgery, also known as gum contouring, is a dental procedure designed to reshape the gum line for aesthetic purposes. It typically involves removing excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth crown, addressing issues like a gummy smile or uneven gum lines. 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.
Cosmetic gum surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia, which minimizes pain during the procedure. Sedation is also available, if needed. You may experience some discomfort and swelling in the days following surgery, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Most patients report that any pain is mild and subsides within a week.
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.
