Crown Lengthening for Gummy Smiles

The most common surgical correction removes excess gum and sometimes underlying bone to expose more of the tooth crown. It takes 1-2 hours under local anesthesia and results are visible once swelling resolves at 2-4 weeks. Final aesthetics are assessed at 3 months.

Cost in 2026

Gummy smile correction costs at Omega depend on the number of teeth involved and whether osseous contouring is required. Most cases are elective cosmetic procedures not covered by insurance, though financing is available.
