Are you happy with your smile? Studies indicate that one of the first things you notice when introduced to someone is their smile. A healthy, beautiful smile is made of many components including beautiful teeth framed by healthy gums. A gummy smile can make your teeth look too short and squaty. Many people with gummy smiles feel self-conscious about their smile and wish that it could be corrected. Thankfully, the treatment for gummy smiles is very simple and very effective!
The vast majority of gummy smiles can be corrected through simple periodontal treatment. The gums can be gently reshaped and scalloped to help create a beautiful, pleasing frame for your teeth. You see- your teeth are normal in size and shape- they are just covered by too much gums! By recontouring your gums, we can help you achieve the bright, beautiful smile that you desire.
The procedure- known as smile line correction- is simple and virtually painless. However, it is a delicate procedure and requires an experienced clinician. Periodontists are dentists who specialize in diseases and conditions affecting the gums, and are specially trained in treating gummy smiles.
