Gummy Smile Treatment at Al Dana Specialist Medical Center
At Al Dana Specialist Medical Center, we understand that a beautiful smile is an important part of a confident appearance. A gummy smile can occur when the gums appear excessive, exposing more gum tissue than desired when you smile. This can be caused by a number of factors, including genetics, short teeth, or an overactive upper lip.
Treatment Options for Gummy Smiles
At Al Dana Specialist Medical Center, we offer a variety of treatment options for gummy smiles, depending on the cause and severity of your condition. These options include:
- Gingivectomy: This is a surgical procedure that removes excess gum tissue.
- Crown lengthening: This procedure involves reshaping the gum tissue and bone around the teeth to expose more tooth surface.
- Orthodontic treatment: In some cases, braces or other orthodontic appliances may be used to adjust the position of the teeth and underlying bone.
- Lip repositioning: This procedure involves surgically modifying the muscles or tissues in the upper lip to reduce the amount of gum tissue that shows when you smile.
