Excessive or Uneven Gums

Dental Factoid

Cosmetic dentistry, including whitening, is one of the fastest growing areas of dentistry. In a recent survey, tooth whitening alone has grown by over 300% in the past five years.

Many people inherit the problem of excessive or uneven gums.

A cosmetic surgical procedure called a gum lift can be used to correct this problem.

Some abnormalities, as well as advanced gum disease that cannot be treated periodontically or non-surgically, may require application of soft tissue grafts. Such procedures can be used to cover an exposed root or correct uneven gum lines.
