Do you have an uneven gum line or feel your teeth look too “short”? Commonly known as a “gummy” smile, this excess of gum tissue leaves many patients embarrassed to show their teeth when they smile. One of the simplest ways we can reverse the appearance of a gummy smile is through soft tissue recontouring, an effective procedure that can be accomplished in one appointment. Soft tissue recontouring can improve the appearance of the smile by creating symmetry between the teeth and gums and balancing out the gum line. This cosmetic crown lengthening can provide patients with a more harmonious tooth-to-gum ratio and improve their smile aesthetics for a stunning, confident new look! Our Scarborough, ON dentists offer soft tissue recontouring for patients desiring a more attractive smile and for those who may need more restorative care to treat decay underneath the gum tissue.
Crown lengthening procedures can improve the appearance of the entire smile, giving patients a more natural and aesthetic look, without causing major discomfort. Soft tissue recontouring as a gummy smile treatment is driven by your unique smile goals and how you desire your smile to appear cosmetically once treatment is complete. We will help you determine the best tooth-to-gum ratio for your unique facial shape. Functional soft tissue recontouring gives us access to parts of your tooth that need treatment for a cavity, fracture, or other damage, decay, or disease. If a tooth requires a dental crown [link to crowns and bridges], a portion of the gum tissue must be removed so that the crown can be bonded securely. No matter if cosmetic or functional, we are experienced in providing custom care for our patients and can help improve the appearance of your smile with soft tissue recontouring!

As The Ministry of Health has begun to lift some restrictions, we are now able to welcome you back! The office is now open to urgent and emergency patients. While many things have changed since then, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to our patients health and safety here at Dentistry at Consilium.
Our office has always followed strict infection control standards and in order to keep us all protected during this pandemic and in the future, we have up taken the following steps to reopening.
A Virtual ” Waiting Room”: You will be asked to wait outside the office when arriving. Please check in via text message or call from outside of the clinic, such as in a car to make sure we are ready for you.
Pre-Screening: You will be asked pre-screening questions over the phone and then again at the time of your appointment. Your temperature will be taken with contactless infra-red thermometer once you arrive.
We ask that all patients arrive wearing a mask.
Our waiting room will no longer offer magazines or children’s toys, as those items are difficult to fully disinfect. Instead there will be hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use upon entering.
Air Filtration: We have installed Hepa air filtration systems to ensure air quality in the operatories.
Please be assured that these measures are designed to create the safest environment for you, other patients and our team.
