Gummy Smile Treatment: Perfecting Your Smile's Balance
Overview
A gummy smile, also known as excessive gingival display, occurs when too much gum tissue is visible when you smile. This condition can affect your confidence and the aesthetics of your smile. Gummy smile treatment involves various procedures designed to reduce the appearance of excessive gum tissue and create a more balanced and attractive smile. Our expert dental practitioners in Turkey utilize the latest techniques to ensure optimal results and a high level of patient satisfaction.
Procedure Options
- Gum Contouring (Gingivectomy): This procedure involves the removal of excess gum tissue to expose more of the teeth, creating a more balanced gum line and improving the aesthetics of your smile.
- Crown Lengthening: This surgical procedure reshapes the gum tissue and bone to expose more of the tooth structure, often used when teeth appear short due to excess gum tissue.
- Botox Injections: Botox can be used to relax the upper lip muscles, reducing the elevation of the lip when smiling and minimizing the appearance of a gummy smile.
- Orthodontic Treatment: Braces or clear aligners can be used to adjust the position of the teeth and jaw, helping to reduce a gummy smile by correcting underlying alignment issues.
