Smile Lift – Gum Lift

Smile Design Principles - Tissue HeightMost people don’t realize how important your gums are to the overall appearance of your smile.

When you notice a person with a beautiful smile there is a specific balance between gums and teeth.

If the height of the gum or the arch of the gum isn’t even the look of your smile can be affected.

Crown lengthening for estheticsIf you’re not satisfied with your smile it may be your gums, and not your teeth to blame. Orlando dentist Dr. Michaelson performs cosmetic gums lifts to reveal beautiful smiles hidden beneath low or uneven tissue.

What is a smile lift?

A smile lift is a minor surgical procedure performed to remove excess gum tissue.

Gingivectomy with a laserSometimes the procedure is done alone and sometimes it is done in preparation for other cosmetic treatments. Dr. Michaelson uses minimally invasive laser technology to recontour gum lines and make teeth appear longer and more shapely.

A gum lift can uncover your smile and enhance your self-esteem, all with no stitches, minimal bleeding, and a fast recovery time.
