What Are Cosmetic Gum Procedures?

Your gumline plays a major role in how your smile looks. Excess gum display, uneven contours, dark pigmentation, or missing tissue between teeth can affect both appearance and confidence. Cosmetic gum procedures are designed to reshape, restore, and beautify the gum tissue while supporting the health and stability of the teeth beneath it.

At Foothill Dental Specialty, treatment is customized based on smile proportion, tissue condition, tooth anatomy, and the most natural-looking path to long-term aesthetic improvement.

Cosmetic Gum Services

Crown Lengthening

Reshapes gum and bone to expose more of the tooth, improve smile proportion, and prepare for restorations when needed.

Gummy Smile Correction

Reduces excess gum display so the teeth, not the gums, take center stage in the smile.

Gum Contouring & Smile Design

Precisely sculpts an uneven gumline to create a more balanced, symmetrical, and natural-looking smile.

Gum Depigmentation

Reduces dark or irregular pigmentation for a healthier, more uniform pink gum appearance.

Papilla Reconstruction

Restores the small triangular tissue between teeth that helps fill spaces and support a more youthful-looking smile.

Botox for Cosmetic Gum Enhancement

Relaxes upper lip muscles that cause excessive gum display, offering a non-surgical option for selected gummy smile cases.

Cosmetic Gum Consultation & Smile Planning

Every cosmetic gum case begins with a careful evaluation of smile proportion, tissue contour, and treatment goals. Some patients benefit from surgical reshaping, while others may be candidates for less invasive enhancement depending on the source of the gum display or contour issue.

  • Patients with a gummy smile or excess gum display
  • Patients with an uneven gumline or asymmetry
  • Patients with dark gum pigmentation
  • Patients with black triangles or missing papilla between teeth
