Is Having a Gum Lift Really Necessary for Your Oral Health?
If your gums rest too low or too high on your teeth and you are unhappy with your smile, you may be a candidate for gum contouring surgery. Also called gum reshaping or tissue sculpting, this cosmetic dental procedure can even out an uneven gum line and give you a smile you can be proud of.
A number of things can cause your gums to be too low or too high. Gums that cover a large portion of your teeth can make your teeth look small. This may be the result of genetics, a particular health problem, or taking certain prescription drugs.
“ Not only can gum recession make your teeth look long, it can lead to serious dental problems such as decay and tooth loss. ”
Gums that are too high and make your teeth appear long are often caused by gum recession, a condition in which gum tissue pulls back from a tooth and exposes the tooth‘s root.

And I thank them for their patience.



Dr Medina (and crew!) is the best dentist that has ever worked on my mouth!
They are focused on keeping you comfortable and to have as minimal pain as possible. They are also “teeth perfectionists”. Everything they do is done right. I’m so happy to have Season of Smiles as my dental office! They are amazing! 👍🏻











Professional and listen to my needs. I feel cared for and my teeth are in good hands.



















Update. I had another appointment today 1/23. The process and outcome met all my expectations. Genial treatment in congenial surroundings.


It fit perfectly
