Gum Contouring for a More Flattering, Proportionate Smile
Having a great smile is important! While one of the main components of a great smile is the teeth, the gums are very important as well. Issues with the shape or position of your gums can distract from an otherwise beautiful smile.
Uneven gums, low gum line, gum recession and inflamed gums all negatively affect our smile. Most people don’t realize how important it is to have proper symmetry to your gum position and shape.
There Are Many Great Gum Contouring Solutions to These Problems
- Reshaping the Gums
- Raising the Gums
- Tissue grafting to correct receding gums
- Movement of the tooth to an ideal position allows gums to be positioned more naturally
Correct Gum Symmetry is shown here with the height of the gums being equal between the front teeth and the canine teeth. The lateral incisors have a gum height approximately 1mm shorter.
