Improving a smile sometimes involves changing the gums as well as the teeth. In this case, it was identified with digital dentistry that not only were the teeth crowded, misaligned and did not have the right shape, the GUMS were causing the appearance of short teeth in the front. After performing the gum lift in combination with cosmetic dentistry, the teeth now all look uniform in height and the smile has been improved significantly.
Before and After Cosmetic dentistry in combination with a gum lift.
JF had never liked the appearance of her teeth and was very unhappy with the state of her smile. After a detailed discussed with JF, a cosmetic analysis was performed which clearly indicated that not only were the teeth contributing to the quality of the smiles, but the gums were playing an equally important role.
Treatment options were discussed and JF was happy to have a gum lift (crown lengthening) procedure in combination with cosmetic dentistry in the form of veneers, crowns and bridges to improve the smile.
Look at JF's new smile – you can tell from the "after" photos that her smile is now more confident and broader than before, just because of the gum lift procedure in combination with cosmetic dentistry!
