How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

My Gum Lift Experience, 21 Y/o

Just wanted to share a brief summary of my gym lift experience in Tampa, FL. I have spotted pigmentation across my gums that made me feel insecure smiling big in photos. I initially sought out laser gum depigmentation (which I discuss in a separate review) and was proposed a gum lift to not only make my smile bigger post braces but also cut back the gums to avoid seeing the pigment.

I was put under anesthesia and woke up to a moderately sore mouth where my front (6) gums were cut and stitched. I was given full direction from Dr. Van Aelst and my healing process was smooth. I’ve been very confident since I had this procedure and I have now decided to revisit the idea of laser gum depigmentation to eliminate the dark spots entirely with my periodontist in Las Vegas, NV.
