Some people have teeth that look too "short" due to the relationship between their teeth and gums. This creates a "gummy" smile. "Gum contouring" is often used to remove excess periodontal tissue and expose more of the crown of the tooth. In fact, your gum line can be carefully sculpted to create just the right proportion between gum tissue and tooth surface. The result is a better-looking smile.

If the gum is uneven around a tooth, gum contouring can smooth and balance the way your tooth and gum look. This cosmetic dentistry procedure produces a consistently even, esthetically pleasing gum line.

Crown Lengthening is the same procedure applied for functional instead of (or in addition to) cosmetic reasons.
