Gum Contouring

Do you see a lot of your gum tissue when you smile? Unfortunately, many people with “gummy” smiles don’t know that cosmetic treatments are available to improve your appearance. One way to eliminate the gummy smile is to recontour gum tissue. Dr Lawson-Myers routinely performs gum recontour procedures to upgrade smiles. Sometimes, that is all that is needed. Other times, gum recontouring is in preparation for placing All-Ceramic crowns or Veneers. The recontouring to accommodate an All-Ceramic Crown or Veneer is called Crown lengthening. The gum tissue removed doesn’t regrow, so that the effects can last a lifetime.


The entire process takes just a few visits, and because of advancements in cosmetic techniques, the treatment is comfortable. So call Liguanea Family Dental, and begin transforming your smile today!
