Dr. Robert Erlach's Dental Blog

The gum lift is a very simple cosmetic procedure offered at Fountaingrove Dentistry, and it can completely change your smile. Completed in a single visit to our Santa Rosa, CA office, a gum lift works by bringing out the beauty of your natural teeth that would otherwise be obstructed by the gums. Using a precision cutting tool, a small amount of gum is removed along the front teeth. By doing this Dr. Erlach can completely reshape the profile of your teeth, creating both more aesthetically pleasing proportions and a more symmetrical appearance. If you are unsatisfied with what is called a “gummy” smile, contact us for more information about improving your appearance with this cosmetic procedure.
