Gum Lift in Orange County, CA
Reshape Your Gumline for a Balanced, Beautiful Smile
A “gummy smile” can make teeth appear short or uneven, even when they’re perfectly healthy. At Perfect Smile Dental Care in Garden Grove, we offer professional gum lift treatments to gently reshape the gumline, reveal more of your natural teeth, and create a balanced, confident smile.

What Is a Gum Lift?
A gum lift—sometimes called crown lengthening or gum contouring—is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes small amounts of excess gum tissue. By carefully sculpting the gumline, our team can improve the proportion of your teeth and help your smile look more even and harmonious.
This treatment is often combined with other cosmetic services, such as veneers or whitening, to achieve a complete smile makeover.
Benefits of a Gum Lift
A gum lift can dramatically change the appearance of your smile. Common benefits include:
- Correcting a “gummy” smile
- Making short teeth appear longer and more proportional
- Creating a symmetrical gumline across all visible teeth
- Enhancing the results of veneers, bonding, or whitening
- Boosting confidence in photos and social settings
The Gum Lift Procedure
Your gum lift treatment is performed in our modern Garden Grove office using advanced tools and gentle techniques. The procedure is typically quick, requiring only local anesthesia, and most patients experience minimal discomfort with a fast recovery time.
After the gumline is reshaped, you’ll notice immediate improvements in your smile’s proportions.
Who Is a Candidate for a Gum Lift?
You may be a good candidate for a gum lift if you have:
- Excess gum tissue covering your teeth
- Uneven gumlines that affect smile symmetry
- Short or “stubby-looking” teeth
