Esthetic Crown Lengthening for gummy smiles or short teeth
Gummy smile treatment does not just rely on lasers. Please modify to say something like: When teeth appear too short, or too much gum shows when smiling, esthetic crown lengthening remove extra gum tissue and reveals the hidden enamel below the gum. Special instruments including a soft tissue laser are used to remove the excess gum tissue and revealing the beautiful smile below. This procedure is done with some veneer treatments when the teeth appear too small.

Gum Recontouring to even out your gum line
Using the same type of procedure as crown lengthening, we remove gum tissue and reshape bone tissue around the teeth that are out of alignment with the rest of the gum line. Gum recontouring m be needed in some cases where veneers are planned.
Connective-tissue grafts
A common procedure used to restore an exposed tooth root is a connective-tissue graft. First, a small section of skin is removed from the roof of your mouth (palate). Then, the connective tissue from beneath the surface is removed. Finally, the tissue is stitched to the gum around the exposed root.
Treatment for enlarged or swollen gums
Some medications or genetic conditions cause gums to overgrow, a condition called gingival hyperplasia. The extra gum tissue can be unsightly, and creates a bumpy texture that is hard to clean. Treatment usually requires removing the excess gum tissue, adjusting any medications with gum overgrowth as a side effect, and meticulous hygiene to minimize gum inflammation.
