Cosmetic Gum Lift in West New York, NJ

What is a Cosmetic Gum Lift?

A cosmetic gum lift, also known as gum contouring or a gingivectomy, is a procedure designed to reshape or remove excess gum tissue. By artfully sculpting the gum line, we can make teeth appear longer and more proportional, correcting a "gummy smile." At Veda Family Dentistry, we often use advanced soft-tissue laser technology, which allows for incredible precision, minimizes bleeding, and promotes faster, more comfortable healing.

Is a Gum Lift the Right Choice for You?

A cosmetic gum lift can be a life-changing procedure for the right candidate. This might be the perfect solution for you if:

• You feel self-conscious about having a “gummy smile.”

• You believe your teeth appear too short or stubby.

• Your gum line is uneven, making your teeth look asymmetrical.

• You are planning other cosmetic work, like veneers or crowns, and want to create the ideal frame for your new smile.
