Cosmetic dentistry is one of the most in-demand professions right now. Zigzag teeth and gummy smiles are already a thing of the past with the help of cosmetic dentistry. With the advent of recent dental technology, any problems with the teeth and gums are put to an end with the help of expert dentists, specialized and trained on how to produce the most beautiful smiles possible. Changing the appearance of the teeth and gums can positively change one’s life, improving self-confidence, mannerism and even providing someone with more opportunities to succeed.
Gummy smiles are conditions that show an abnormality in the proportion of the teeth and gums. When one smiles, the gums appear disproportionate with the teeth. The teeth are too small to look at. A gummy smile is typically a condition said to be influenced by genetics, generally. When the teeth start to grow, the gums should recede (pull back) and to the teeth. But for those suffering with gummy smiles, the process of the gums receding is prematurely stopped.
With cosmetic dentistry, gummy smiles can be easily fixed. One option is to utilize the procedure called a gum lift, which entails removing the excess gum tissues and promote rapid healing. If the condition is severe, realignment of the jaw may be done through surgery. It all really depends on the situation and case-by-case patient basis.
Whatever the option that is chosen by you, the patient, you will find the results to always be exactly the change you’re looking for in your smile.
