Is Having a Gum Lift Really Necessary for Your Oral Health?

Is Having a Gum Lift Really Necessary for Your Oral Health?

If your gums rest too low or too high on your teeth and you are unhappy with your smile, you may be a candidate for gum contouring surgery. Also called gum reshaping or tissue sculpting, this cosmetic dental procedure can even out an uneven gum line and give you a smile you can be proud of.

A number of things can cause your gums to be too low or too high. Gums that cover a large portion of your teeth can make your teeth look small. This may be the result of genetics, a particular health problem, or taking certain prescription drugs.

“ Not only can gum recession make your teeth look long, it can lead to serious dental problems such as decay and tooth loss. ”

Gums that are too high and make your teeth appear long are often caused by gum recession, a condition in which gum tissue pulls back from a tooth and exposes the tooth‘s root.

“This was my first initial visit and I can honestly say that the staff is really awesome!! I was recommended, and I can definitely see why.”

“My fiancée recommended this place to me. He was looking for a local dentist and set up an appointment with Reflections online. Unfortunately, they weren’t in his network but they went out of the way to let him know ahead of time and compile a list of other local places in network. I figured if they were that helpful to someone who wouldn’t be using their services, they’d be a good place to go and I wasn’t wrong! Everyone here is super friendly and makes sure every aspect of your visit — from waiting for your appointment to dental procedures to payment — is as comfortable as possible. I’d HIGHLY recommend this place if you’re looking for a dentist!”
