Gum Lift Contouring at Bucktown Wicker Park Dental

Achieve a Balanced Smile with Gum Lift Contouring

At Bucktown Wicker Park Dental, we offer gum lift contouring to enhance the appearance of your smile. This procedure is perfect for those who have a "gummy" smile or an uneven gum line, revealing more of your teeth for a balanced and aesthetic look.

What is Gum Lift Contouring?

Overview of the Procedure

Gum lift contouring, also known as gum reshaping, involves removing excess gum tissue to expose more of your teeth. This can significantly improve the symmetry and overall appearance of your smile.

Who Needs Gum Lift Contouring?

• Gummy Smile: When too much gum tissue covers your teeth.

• Tooth Exposure: Enhancing the length of your teeth for a more proportionate look.
