Study your smile
We look at your gumline, lip line, and tooth proportions together, and agree on the goal before anything starts.
Cosmetic Gum Surgery
The frame matters as much as the picture. Balanced gums make a balanced smile.
Cosmetic Gum Surgery
Reshaping the frame around your teeth
The gum tissue surrounding your teeth plays a surprisingly large role in how your smile looks. Too much tissue can make teeth look short and boxy. Recession makes them look long. An uneven gum line draws the eye for the wrong reason.
These are all problems we treat routinely. Whether it’s recontouring excess tissue, evening out the gumline, or covering recession with grafting, the goal is a natural frame that puts the focus back on your smile.
Commonly treated concerns
- A “gummy” smile with excess tissue
- Uneven or asymmetrical gum lines
- Teeth that appear too short or too long
- Recession that shows when you smile
How we plan it
Small changes, big difference
Reshape precisely
Tissue is recontoured conservatively. The aim is balance, not dramatic change.
Heal naturally
Gums heal into a clean, even frame within weeks, and the results are lasting.
