Have A Gummy Smile?

Some people look at themselves in the mirror and cannot see beyond their gummy smile.

After all, your smile is one of your most important attributes. It makes you attractive to other people, warm, welcoming and friendly. Your smile can open a conversation as well as close a business deal. It can make people feel comfortable around you, respond to you and want to get to know you.

One issue some people have with their smile is that it shows a lot of gum.

Some people simply show a lot of gum when they smile. It is not due to any medical condition and nor is it detrimental to the long-term health of your teeth or gums. The sole reason for having treatment for a gummy smile is for cosmetic improvement.

If you mention the phrase ‘cosmetic dental work’ to most people, they immediately start to think of Hollywood, celebrities and very expensive treatments that people who live in the real world cannot afford.

But let’s just hold on a minute. Not all cosmetic treatments have to cost a small fortune!!!

Improvements to a gummy smile can be made at a much more affordable cost.

Are You Unhappy With Your Gummy Smile?

Do you smile less because of it?

The most popular treatment for a gummy smile is called gum contouring.

Gum contouring is really only suitable for cases where the gums need to be trimmed and shaped lightly.

When a greater effect is desired, a different surgical procedure may be required.

This is a procedure known as crown lengthening, during which the gums are re-shaped, cut away from the tooth and replaced in the best position. Stitches will be required to hold the gums into their new positions, so the healing time is longer for this procedure.

When the gums have completely healed, you may return to your dentist to have them slightly reshaped again – leaving you with your perfect smile! So if you have a gummy smile that your conscious about, give us a call at Dental On and book in for a consultation today!
