Gummy Smile Correction
Having a gummy smile means showing more gums than teeth when smiling, which can be embarrassing for some individuals. At Premier Dental Esthetics, we are pleased to provide laser dentistry as a solution to correct this issue, depending on the cause of the gum-to-teeth disproportion.
How to Correct a Gummy Smile?
Crown lengthening is a straightforward procedure that can be completed in just one appointment. Using a soft-tissue laser, we trim back the gums when teeth appear short and the gums have overgrown.
The advantage of crown lengthening is achieving a healthier balance of gum tissue to tooth.
In some instances, bone surgery may be necessary to reposition the gums. We may utilize a hard-tissue laser for procedures like this to address a gummy smile.
Alternatively, adjusting the position of the lips to cover more of the gums may be required in certain cases. We carefully assess your soft tissues to determine if this step is needed to correct a gummy smile.
A thorough evaluation by a skilled dentist is essential to accurately diagnose the condition before recommending the appropriate treatment. We always discuss with the patient to explain the best options for correcting a gummy smile.
