Gum Lift (Gingivectomy) in Vanak, Tehran

Sometimes an excessive display of gum when smiling affects the balance and beauty of the smile. A gum lift, or cosmetic gum surgery, reshapes the gum line and balances the tooth-to-gum ratio to create a symmetrical, harmonious smile. At the practice of Dr. Zahra Sadat Shamekhi, a DHA-licensed general dentist practising since 2013 in Vanak, Tehran, gum lifts are performed with a laser — minimally invasively, precisely and with an aesthetic focus.

If you feel that your gums show too much when you laugh, or you have an uneven gum line, a gum lift can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile. Below you will learn about the nature of this treatment, its benefits, the steps and the aftercare it requires.

What is a gum lift?

A gum lift is a cosmetic dentistry procedure in which excess gum tissue is removed and the gum line is reshaped to reveal the correct tooth-to-gum ratio. This treatment is especially useful for correcting a gummy smile, gum asymmetry and teeth that appear short, and it creates a natural, balanced result.

Ways a gum lift can be performed

• Laser gum lift: minimally invasive, with less bleeding and inflammation and a faster recovery.

• Gingivectomy surgery: precise removal of excess gum tissue and reshaping of the smile line.

• Combined lift: combining gum contouring with cosmetic treatments such as veneers for a coordinated result.

Benefits of a gum lift

Beyond aesthetics, a gum lift improves the balance of your smile and your confidence. Its most important benefits include:

• Correcting a gummy smile and revealing the proper tooth-to-gum ratio

• Creating symmetry and harmony in the gum line

• Making the teeth look longer and more attractive

• Improving the overall appearance of the smile with a minimally invasive method
