What is Gummy Smile Correction?
A gummy smile occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible when you smile, which can affect your confidence. Gummy smile correction involves various techniques to reduce the appearance of the gums, creating a more balanced gum-to-tooth ratio and enhancing your overall smile.
Our Approach to Gummy Smile Correction
At Big Gay Smiles, we offer a range of treatments tailored to your needs to address gummy smiles:
- Laser Gum Contouring: A minimally invasive procedure that gently reshapes excess gum tissue using precise laser technology. This approach allows for a quick recovery and immediate aesthetic improvement.
- Crown Lengthening: This procedure exposes more of your teeth by reshaping both the gum and bone tissue. It’s ideal for those looking to correct a gummy smile and enhance their tooth appearance.
- Botox for Gummy Smiles: Botox can be used to relax the upper lip, reducing the amount of gum that shows when you smile. It’s a simple, non-surgical option for a more balanced look.
