Gum-Lifts Brisbane
A Gum Lift involves lifting the height of the gums to reveal more tooth enamel and achieve a fuller smile.
A Gum Lift is a highly effective Cosmetic Dental procedure designed to reshape and lift the height of your gums. This treatment is ideal for those looking to treat a gummy smile or a disproportionate gum-to-tooth ratio. A Gum Lift addresses the excess growth of gum tissue, reshaping the gumline and revealing more of the tooth structure.
Often combined with treatments like Porcelain Veneers, this procedure may create an aesthetically balanced smile, especially for individuals who are concerned that their smile is “gummy” or their teeth appear short.
WHAT TO EXPECT
What is a Gum Lift?
A Gum Lift is a Cosmetic Dental procedure that adjusts the gumline to expose more of your healthy teeth, often creating a more aesthetically balanced, appealing smile. This procedure involves the removal of excess gum tissue to transform square teeth into a more naturally shaped rectangular form. By lifting and reshaping the gums, the Gum Lift can enhance smile aesthetics.
This treatment is especially useful for gummy smile reduction and is often performed alongside Porcelain Veneers for a complete smile makeover. The process reveals the hidden tooth structure, providing a longer, more proportional appearance to the teeth. Additionally, the Gum Lift adjusts the gum-to-tooth ratio, helping to achieve a smile that is well-balanced and proportionate.
How Does the Gum Lift Procedure Work?
The Gum Lift procedure is minimally invasive and is typically performed under local anaesthesia to often support a pain-free experience. During the treatment, the gums are numbed, and a precise technique is used to reshape the gumline and remove any excess tissue. Depending on your individual needs, the procedure may involve the use of an Electrosurgical Unit, Laser, or a Micro-surgical Blade. These advanced tools provide precision in sculpting the gums, ensuring that the results are natural and aesthetically pleasing.
In some cases, sutures may be placed to assist in the healing process. Most patients experience a relatively quick recovery, with the gums healing to a natural appearance within 1-2 weeks. The procedure is often quick, effective, and minimally invasive and patients are typically able to return to their normal activities soon after.
Gum Lift for Gummy Smile Reduction
For individuals with a gummy smile, the gums can often overpower the teeth when smiling, resulting in an imbalanced appearance. A gummy smile is typically characterised by short, square teeth with excessive upper gums showing. A Gum Lift can treat this dental concern by reducing the amount of gum visible during a smile, creating a more aesthetically pleasing tooth and gum display.
By contouring the gumline and reshaping the tissue around the teeth, the procedure helps to lengthen the teeth and restore a more balanced tooth-to-gum ratio. The result is an aesthetically pleasing. After the procedure, you may notice a smoother, more proportionate gum line that complements the natural teeth.
Gum Lift Results: What to Expect
The results of a Gum Lift are often immediate and aesthetically transformative. After the procedure, patients often experience a noticeable difference in the length of their teeth and the overall symmetry of their smile.
Patients who undergo a Gum Lift procedure can expect their smile to look significantly more balanced, with a natural appearance. For those looking to treat their smile aesthetics further, the Gum Lift can be combined with other Cosmetic Dental treatments like Porcelain Veneers, which help to create a smile with uniform teeth and overall appealing appearance.
