Your pearly whites may be flawless, but if too much of your gums shows when you smile, it’s those overwhelming pinks that will be the talk of the town. Silence those gossips with a gummy smile reduction.
When it’s unnecessary to remove any tissue from the gum area, Botox is a perfect choice for correcting gummy smile. Botox lowers a hyperactive upper lip, concealing the gums and letting only the teeth show.
When a large amount of tissue reduction is required, consider crown lengthening. During this procedure, bone and gum tissue is removed with a laser or a scalpel. After this, the tissue left in the area is draped around the teeth in a way that creates an appropriate tooth-gum balance.
