Fixing a gummy smile

When your upper gums are more prominent than your teeth, it can be unattractive and embarrassing, as well as making the teeth appear small. This is called a ‘gummy’ smile, generally treated with painless laser oral surgery. The excess tissue is removed, exposing more tooth enamel. The teeth are then bleached with Zoom! laser tooth whitening or receive porcelain veneers, and the results are stunning.

In more severe cases, the cause might not be too much gum tissue but too much bone. To solve this problem, a cosmetic ‘gum lift’ can surgically remove excess bone, customizing the gum tissue to meet the higher gum line. This is generally followed with porcelain veneers or, occasionally, metal free, all-porcelain crowns.

Why suffer with a gummy smile when you can enjoy a youthful, beautiful smile so easily? In fact, treating your gummy smile can be just one phase of a complete smile makeover!

Cosmetic dentists like Dr. Jeffrey Haddad and Dr. Kurt Doolin at Rochester Advanced Dentistry in Rochester, MI can redesign your smile in total comfort, with a variety of solutions that include the solutions we’ve just discussed, as well as these state-of-the-art dental restoration procedures:

Josie had significant wear, and severe crowding of her front teeth. After searching for the right office, she allowed us to give her the smile of her dreams. With 20 porcelain veneers, Josie was able to correct the shape, position, and crowdedness of her teeth. This is a great example of what we call “instant orthodontics.” Josie loves her new smile and the increased self-confidence it has given her.

Dan came to our office concerned with the severe wear he had on his teeth. He felt that his smile "looked old and worn down." Dan was only 35 years old and due to his severe grinding habit and TMJ Symptoms, his teeth were being destroyed. With a combination of porcelain veneers and all porcelain crowns, we rebuilt Danny's teeth and gave him the smile a man his age should have. Danny now has the confidence to smile again.

Stephanie arrived in “temporary veneers” from a dentist in Boston. She came to us for our opinion on her shocking situation. Stephanie’s temporaries were appalling! We showed her that our temporary veneers are identical versions of the final veneers, and she knew she was in the right place. With 8 porcelain veneers, we gave this stunning girl the smile that rightfully complimented her beauty!
