Each and every one of us has their own unique smile, however some people are a bit self-conscious about their smile because  their gums start showing.  This is why many search for a solution to this aesthetic problem. The dentists at Atrium Family Dental have seen many different cases of gummy smiles and have prescribed certain procedures that specifically target this cosmetic issue and have identified the possible causes of a gummy smile.

One of the treatments available for qualified patients is gum contouring. A laser is used to do away with the excess soft tissue and reveal more of the healthy teeth. This is a quick procedure with minimal pain if your gummy smile isn’t severe.  This is all about reshaping or contouring the bone and also reducing or lifting the gum line. It will allow the teeth crown to have a more visible appearance compared to the gums. The goal is to make your smile look natural but at the same time the improvements should be obvious.

Gummy smiles, while primarily an aesthetic issue, does affect the self-confidence of a person and their ability to socialize with others.  However, make sure to consult with a dentist first before undergoing any dental procedure. You can also visit Atrium Family Dental and if you would like someone to explain all the possible treatments that’s available to you.
