Let Us Lift Your Smile with a Gum Lift from Dentistry of Bethesda

Do you suffer from a “gummy” smile? A beautiful smile includes the right balance of gums to teeth, but if your gums are overgrown, you may find that your teeth look small and your smile is overpowered by the look of your gums. You want your teeth to have a pleasing size and shape, and a gum lift may be the right way to achieve that well balanced smile.

A gum lift involves the use of a soft-tissue laser to remove the extra gum tissue, sculpting a gum line that makes your teeth appear longer and reduces the appearance of overgrown gums. We will make sure that the end result appears symmetrical and smooth. Once your teeth make up more of your smile, you’ll find that your smile appears whiter and brighter as well, and we can provide teeth whitening after your gum lift to really complete the look.

A gum lift could be part of your comprehensive smile makeover plan. Check out other cosmetic dental procedures offered at Dentistry of Bethesda, and learn more about laser dentistry as well. A simple gum lift could be just the thing to lift your spirits and make you smile, or it could be just the beginning of a whole new you.
