gum lifts

The gums frames your teeth
Healthy, well-shaped pink gum honours and frames the teeth. The aesthetic framing of the gums are like a frame for a painting. Gums that are red and swollen discredit the teeth that are otherwise healthy.

Healthy gums
The first thing to do is to make the gum healthy. This is done by decreasing eventual inflammation and getting the tissue pink and tight. When you have this, it's time to evaluate the gum's contours.

When you see an attractive smile, you not only see beautiful teeth but your see also that the gums are also symmetric around every tooth. The gum edges shall be on the same level as the two front teeth and the two incisors.

The two teeth, which are beside the two front teeth, shall be 1-1.5 mm longer than the other teeth.

We know what normal gums are, but what about the bad contours?

 

The gums contours
A normal problem is asymmetric gum. That means that the gum edge is not in line. (Notice the gum line between the pictures above). Gums could be lowered on one front tooth and not the other and therefore creates the vision that one tooth is longer than the other.

Another scenario is that the gum line is too low. That makes the teeth shorter.

How to correct this problems?
It could be needed to have surgery on the gums, so it can have a more balanced and aesthetic appearance. This is called "simple gum lift." A laser is used and local anaesthesia is used. The gums heal very quickly and is almost painless.

 
Advanced gum lift

Of course there are occasions when only to shape the gum is not enough. In these cases you must shorten the tooth bone 3 mm before the root.

Gum lift is a simple aesthetic method, but can do a great impact of the smile
