Simple cosmetic changes
Some patients have a problem called the gummy smile. That’s when you have an excess of gum tissue. It makes your teeth look short. So with some cosmetic contouring of the gums, we can give you a long, slender-looking tooth, which makes you look younger. It makes you have a wider-looking smile because now you have more teeth to show. And on the flip side of a gummy smile, you could have recession, which shows too much teeth and it shows your roots. You can do a gum graft to bring your smile or your teeth to a nice, healthy ratio to give you that youthful and healthy-looking smile.
