For the best holiday
smile, you cannot beat cosmetic dentistry, and if you want to treat yourself to
a new toothy grin, call and schedule an appointment with your dentist who can
help you come up with a plan that may include tooth whitening, dental veneers,
tooth colored fillings or dental bonding. Your cosmetic dentist may also
recommend inlays, onlays, dental crowns; tooth colored fillings or dental
implants. If you have always thought your gums were too large for your smile,
your dentist may also recommend gummy smile repair.
A gummy smile can
make you feel self-conscious when you smile. Your smile has everything to do
with perception and aesthetics and if you are showing too much gum tissue and
your gums are more prominent when you smile than your teeth, you may have a
gummy smile. If you have a gummy smile, your teeth will appear smaller than
they should.
According to your dentist,
gummy smiles happen when your teeth and gums are out of proportion with each
other. The position of your upper lip also comes into play and can be a
combination of several things. These include the amount of gum tissue that you
have on display, the shape, and size of your teeth, the degree, and the length
of the movement of your upper lip and the vertical positioning of your teeth
and upper jaw in relationship to your head or skull.
You may have a gummy
smile for a variety of reasons. However, only your dentist can provide you with
the critical diagnosis that is needed to repair your gummy smile. According to
your dentist, several factors could be causing your gummy smile, but it is
imperative that you have the correct diagnosis and treatment as incorrect gummy
smile correction procedures could make the problem worse.
If you are unhappy
with your smile, call and schedule an appointment with your dentist who can
come up with a plan to give you the grin that you deserve. Call or click today.
