Cosmetic Gum Lifts North Dallas
Perfectly Framing Your Dazzling Teeth
A cosmetic gum lift is a remarkable procedure that can make a tremendous difference in one’s smile. When the gum tissue is asymmetrical or uneven, it can make the teeth appear to have different lengths and/or be too short, resulting in a “gummy smile.” Dr. Robert B. Mitchell can perform a laser-assisted cosmetic gum lift procedure, also known as gum recontouring, to uncover your teeth and give you a big, symmetrical look that brings out your best features.

What is a Cosmetic Gum Lift?
A cosmetic gum lift is a precise, minimally invasive procedure that reshapes and removes excess gum tissue to create a more balanced and proportionate smile. The treatment offers aesthetic and health-related benefits that not only create a more visually pleasing appearance but also lower the risk of gum disease by removing unnecessary tissue.
This process avoids altering your teeth and instead focuses on your gums, which can be easily sculpted to improve your smile proportion.
How Does a Cosmetic Gum Lift Work?
At our practice, we perform this procedure using a soft tissue laser. The laser allows Dr. Mitchell to sculpt the gumline with high accuracy while sealing the tissue, which minimizes bleeding and reduces the risk of post-procedure discomfort.
Before he begins, you can expect to receive local anesthesia to numb your gums. Once Dr. Mitchell starts the process, it should not take more than one hour to complete.
Most patients find the procedure manageable, with little to no downtime after their appointment and immediately noticeable results!
The Benefits of a Cosmetic Gum Lift
There are significant advantages when choosing a cosmetic gum lift to improve your appearance and bolster better oral health, such as:
- Your smile will appear symmetrical and more visually appealing than before. As a result, this can boost your confidence.
- The removal of excess gum tissue can minimize your risk of gum disease by reducing the size of any gum pockets that may exist.
- You can expect successful results should you need a custom restoration, including a dental crown, veneer, or bridge.
- Mitchell’s use of a dental laser allows the procedure to be minimally invasive with little bleeding and swelling. As a result, you'll enjoy a faster recovery time.
