Gummy Smile? How "Gingivectomy" Can Balance Your Smile in Minutes

Dr. Grei
Cosmetic Dentist

Sometimes, a beautiful smile is hidden behind too much gum tissue.
If you feel like your teeth look "too short" or your smile shows too much gum, you might have what we call a "gummy smile." In the past, fixing this required scalpels and a long recovery. Today, we use Electrosurgery to reshape your gum line with incredible precision.
- Immediate Symmetry: We can subtly lift the gum line to reveal more of your natural tooth, making your teeth look longer and more balanced.
- No Bleeding, Fast Healing: Because the electrosurgery tool cauterizes as it works, there is virtually no bleeding and the healing process is significantly faster than traditional surgery.
- The "Frame" for Your Veneers: For patients getting Composite Bonding or Veneers, a gingivectomy is often the "secret step" that ensures the final result looks symmetrical and professional.
