COSMETIC CONTOURING
Too short ... too much ... TWO methods
Are you self-conscious because your teeth look too short or too long ... because too much of your gums show ... because your teeth look different lengths?
Now density can cosmetically contour your smile! If your gumline is uneven or if your teeth look too small, short, or square, we can restore symmetry and proportion by sculpting your gumline with a gum lift or crowns lengthening. Both reveal the natural enamel hidden by excessive gum tissue.
If your teeth look too long, it could be that ageing or periodontal disease has caused your gumline to recede. The proportion of gums that appear "too short" can be restored by applying the same porcelain veneers that we use to hide other smile flaws.
