Reveal Your Beautiful Smile
Do you show too much gum when you smile? Gummy smile correction reshapes the gums and teeth to create a balanced, natural-looking smile. The procedure is quick, safe, and can boost your confidence.
What Is a Gummy Smile Correction
Gummy smile correction is a cosmetic dental treatment that addresses excessive gum display. It can involve gum contouring, crown lengthening. The goal is to create a harmonious proportion between your teeth and gums, enhancing your smile without affecting oral health. This procedure can also make teeth appear longer, improve symmetry, and give you a more attractive, confident appearance.
Gummy Smile Correction
Correcting a gummy smile involves several personalized approaches depending on your specific smile goals and oral anatomy. Treatment options may include:
Gum Contouring: A gentle procedure that reshapes the gum tissue to reveal more of your teeth, creating a more balanced and natural smile.
Crown Lengthening: A surgical approach to adjust both gum and bone structure, providing a more proportional and harmonious tooth display.
For more complex cases, Dr. Rozov may recommend a combination of these techniques to achieve the ideal smile, while ensuring the long-term health of your gums and teeth.
