If you are someone who has a gummy smile in Matthews, NC, there is no need to assume you just have to live with it forever. A gummy smile makes it so your gums are more visible than your teeth, which can result in a great deal of self consciousness and make you feel shy around people, especially when meeting them for the first time.

If you want your gummy smile to go away for good, make an appointment at our office to see Dr. Kiya Green. She specializes in minimally invasive, effective treatments for people with gummy smiles and other cosmetic issues.

Make Your Teeth More Visible

 After assessing your situation, Dr. Green may suggest that you go through an esthetic crown lengthening in Matthews, NC. While you are in our office, Dr. Green can perform this common procedure, which involves removing excessive gum tissue and/or bone so your teeth are more clearly seen inside your mouth.

How You Could Benefit

 There are many advantages you could notice after consenting to a procedure to treat your gummy smile. They include:

  • More confidence when speaking
  • Increased comfort when eating
  • Better gum health

As you can see, your decision to get your gummy smile treated could be truly life changing. It might pay off in almost everything you do.

Other Potential Options

 Although getting an esthetic crown lengthening in Matthews, NC is one of the most common ways to fix a gummy smile, there are other interventions that may be more appropriate. For example, if the issue is related to the muscles in your upper lip, you may need surgical repositioning. Dental Braces may also be required if your gummy smile is completely or partially caused by crooked teeth.

 

Make a smart decision to meet with Dr. Green in our conveniently located practice near Charlotte, NC soon. She can evaluate your situation and suggest suitable ways to improve it.
