Gummy Smiles

A gummy smile hides the natural beauty of your teeth, making them look too short. It can create the illusion of problems with your teeth and your dental health that aren’t there. Conversely, teeth that truly are too short can create the illusion of too much gum tissue. Whatever the cause of your gummy smile, Dr. Buzz Raymond can work with a specialist and make recommendations on the best course of corrective action.

Benefits of Correcting a Gummy Smile

A gummy smile might be a beautiful smile in disguise. Benefits include:

• Increased self confidence
• Revealing the natural beauty of your teeth
• A healthier more youthful-looking appearance
• Improved physical comfort

Solutions for a Gummy Smile

If your gummy smile is caused by excess gum tissue, then gum recontouring can solve the problem. If the teeth are really too short, Dr. Raymond can increase their length using porcelain veneers or dental bonding. The angulations of the teeth or jaws can cause a gummy smile, and then, orthodontics is an appropriate option.

Dr. Raymond can help reveal the natural beauty of your smile and that will encourage you to smile a whole lot more. Please contact us today to schedule your free initial consultation and find out more about solutions to a gummy smile.
