Fix Your Gummy Smile

Revealing too much of your gums when you smile can happen due to many factors. Sometimes it's because of how your upper lip moves when you smile, or it could be a result of short teeth or excess gum tissue:

Frequently Asked Questions About Gum Reshaping

What is gum reshaping?
If too much of your gums show when you smile, you have what's known as a gummy smile. Gum reshaping removes excess gum tissue to even out your teeth-to-gum ratio. Treatment can usually be completed in just one visit using special electrosurge dental technology. You can leave our office with your new smile and new confidence to go along with it.
Is gum reshaping painful?
Your gum reshaping procedure should be comfortable. Your comfort is always our top priority at Glendale Gentle Dentistry. We'll use high-tech electrosurge technology to carefully shape your gums without any pain or discomfort. If you're nervous about your procedure, you're welcome to sedation through laughing gas.
Why would I need gum reshaping?
Like other cosmetic procedures, gum reshaping can improve your appearance and help you feel better about your smile. This increases your confidence in both business and social settings. In addition, removing excess gum tissue often makes it easier to receive dental restorations like veneers or crowns.
