You've heard of face lifts...but what about a smile lift? A new dental procedure called the gum lift can re-shape your gums, or make the gumline smaller. Doctors use a laser to do it, basically framing your teeth.

The process used to involve heavy anesthesia and stitches. Now, you can have it all done in about an hour.

The recovery time isn't so bad: a little soreness for a day or two and you're able to eat normally almost right away. It's gonna cost you a pretty penny though....a whopping 500 bucks a tooth.
