Understanding Gum Lifts
A gum lift, also known as gingivectomy or crown lengthening, is a cosmetic dentistry procedure aimed at reshaping or contouring the gum line. This treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals with excessive gum tissue, creating a “gummy smile” or making teeth appear shorter than they are.

Common Reasons for Gum Lifts
There are a variety of reasons someone might want or need a gum lift. These include:
Gummy smile correction
Individuals with an excess of gum tissue, which causes their teeth to appear shorter, can benefit from a gum lift.
Cosmetic reshaping
Gum lifts are often performed for cosmetic reasons, providing a symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing gumline.
Restorative purposes
In some cases, a gum lift may be recommended to expose more of the tooth surface. This can be essential for procedures like dental crowns or veneers, ensuring proper placement and a natural-looking result.
The Gum Lift Process
If you need a gum lift, here’s what the process will be like:
- Initial consultation. Your journey to a beautifully balanced smile begins with a comprehensive consultation at Benage Dental Care. During this appointment, our experienced cosmetic dentists will assess your oral health, discuss your smile goals, and determine if a gum lift is the right solution for you.
- Treatment planning. Once the decision is made to proceed with a gum lift, our team will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique dental anatomy and aesthetic preferences. This plan may include digital imaging to visualize the anticipated results.
- Local anesthesia. Before the gum lift procedure begins, a local anesthetic is administered to ensure your comfort throughout the process. This ensures a painless experience for the patient.
- Gum contouring. Using specialized tools, our skilled dentists carefully reshape the gumline to achieve the desired contour. This involves removing excess gum tissue, exposing more of the tooth surface, and creating a more balanced and attractive appearance.
- Sculpting and final adjustments. The gum contouring process is an artful and precise task. Our dentists sculpt and refine the gumline, making final adjustments to ensure symmetry and harmony between the gums and teeth.
- Recovery and aftercare. Following the gum lift procedure, patients are provided with aftercare instructions to promote proper healing. This may include recommendations for oral hygiene practices and any necessary follow-up appointments to monitor progress.
At Benage Dental Care, we also offer sedation dentistry. If you experience dental anxiety, we have nitrous oxide (laughing gas) as well as IV sedation options. Don’t let dental anxiety keep you from getting the care you need!
