TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR A GUMMY SMILE
We Can Help You Get A Beautiful Smile
Dr. Guinn might use just one treatment for your gummy smile or a combination with a comprehensive treatment approach. Your gummy smile treatment plan is personalized according to your needs and the structural abnormalities that contribute to the way your smile looks. Your treatment plan might include:
Crown lengthening
Crown lengthening is a procedure to make your teeth appear longer by exposing more of them from under your gums. Dr. Guinn sculpts your gumline to make sure it looks natural and appealing without showing as much when you smile.
Orthodontics
In some cases, orthodontic treatments like braces and Invisalign® can help reshape your smile to show less of your gums.
Botox®
Botox injections work as a treatment for some gummy smiles because they can counteract the overactive muscles causing your upper lip to recede. Botox works by inhibiting muscle movements that are involuntary or excessive.
