Gummy Smile Got You Down?

Periodontal Plastic Surgery

• Esthetic Crown Lengthening / “Gum Lift” – This method reduces the amount of tissue in the mouth. Local anesthesia is placed and the gum tissue and bone are modified. Your teeth appear longer and your gums appear less prominent. 
• Lip Repositioning / Gummy Smile Reduction – With this treatment, soft tissue is reduced, improving the overall appearance of your smile. This is an ideal procedure in cases where the patient has more of a skeletal discrepancy or mobile lip. With the upper lip lowered, less gum tissue shows when you smile. The result is a beautiful, natural looking smile, without the need for major surgery.
