Gummy Smile Correction
We are happy to offer laser dentistry at Premier Dental Esthetics to help correct a gummy smile, where more gums are shown than teeth when smiling. This can be embarrassing for some people, but our laser dentistry services can address the issue depending on the cause of the gum-to-teeth disproportion.
How to Correct a Gummy Smile?
Crown lengthening is a simple procedure that can be done in one appointment. Using a soft-tissue laser, we trim back overgrown gums to make teeth appear longer. This helps achieve a healthier balance of gum tissue to tooth.
In some cases, bone surgery may be needed to reposition the gums, which can be done with a hard-tissue laser. Adjusting the position of the lips may also be necessary to cover more of the gums and correct a gummy smile. Our skilled dentists carefully evaluate each patient to determine the best course of action.
It is important to have a thorough evaluation by a dentist to accurately diagnose the condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment. We always discuss treatment options with the patient to ensure they are fully informed.
