Gum Lift and Contouringin Glenview, IL

One of the most overlooked and misunderstood smile parts is the gums. When too much gum tissue grows and starts to cover the teeth, the smile can become too gummy, and the teeth appear more petite. This usually happens while wearing braces, because of hormone changes, or as a side effect of medication. At Glance Dental, we recognize that if the gums grow too far down or if they're uneven, your smile will not be as good as it can be. Your smile is created by more than just teeth. A smile's facets should be balanced and harmonious to be at its best. We can create a much more suitable balance with your smile using this option. We can even out the gums, get them in better harmony, and make your smile perfect through this simple diode laser procedure. It's very conservative and comfortable, and we do it as part of our smile designs.

The limitations of a gum lift procedure include just how much sculpting we can do with our laser. A certain amount of gum tissue is needed to have a healthy tooth-gum balance around your teeth. This measurement is called the biological width. So Many other options are available if you have a gummy smile that can not be improved with the laser alone. The most convenient way to find out if we can fix your gummy smile is to schedule an appointment with our team. We take digital photos at our practice and review them with you at this appointment. We will also take measurements of your gums to determine how we can best achieve your desired results. This simple, conservative, and gentle procedure accomplished some of our most dramatic and beautiful smile results. Our experience in leading-edge cosmetic procedures has helped Glance Dental to earn national recognition for cosmetic excellence.
