The experts say gums frame the teeth and this is so true.

Having the right amount of gum is important to creating natural harmony between the shape and size of teeth and your overall smile.

To achieve this, we can add gum to areas that are lacking. This process is known as gum grafting.

To reduce excess gum or create even gumlines across the left and the right, this procedure is called crown lengthening (or trimming).

Both procedures are procedures best performed by a periodontist, who deals exclusively with all gum related procedures.
