Gummy Smile Correction
Healthy and beautiful teeth are vital for an attractive smile, but what if you have overexposed gums? This condition can make many people feel self-conscious. Our dentist in Glendale specializes in helping patients correct their gummy smiles, giving them the confidence they need to smile proudly.
A smile is usually considered “gummy” when 4 millimeters of gum tissue shows. If you think that you may have a gummy smile, it's a good idea to try to find out what may be causing this. Our dentist, Dr. Leo Aghajanian , can help you find this answer and also address dental treatment options to give you the smile of your dreams.
Which are the common causes of a gummy smile?
- Inadequate tooth length.
- Positioning of jaw and/or teeth.
- Short upper lip.
What are the treatment options for a gummy smile?
Dr. Leo Aghajanian uses Crown Lengthening, which involves the lifting of the gum line for a fuller smile. The treatment method that is best for you depends on your specific case, but rest assured that our Glendale dentist will find the right solution for you.
