Gummy smile correction is a common cosmetic dental procedure used to reduce the amount of gum tissue that shows when someone smiles.
This procedure can be accomplished in various ways and understanding the different options available can help you decide which technique will best meet your needs.
The first option for gummy smile correction is called crown lengthening. This procedure involves reshaping the gum line and removing excess tissue through laser technology, exposing more of the tooth surface and reducing the appearance of a gummy smile.
For those looking for a minimally-invasive alternative, another option is botox injections. By injecting small amounts of botox into specific areas, it can relax muscle movement in the upper lip, resulting in less gum showing when smiling.
