Gummy Smile Treatment

Procedure

• The overexposed gums are removed with advanced LASER technology. The area is cleaned, sterilised and prepared for the treatment to take over.
• The area is anaesthetised locally so that you don’t feel any pain or discomfort. The LASERS are used to remove the overgrown gums or lengthen the tooth height. By doing so, a perfect proportion between the gums and tooth is achieved.
• The procedure will take minimal time and with our advanced technology, you will not require a suture.

Gummy smile correction can be done by

Gum Surgery / Crown lengthening

Typically the procedure that we do most of the time is what’s called crown Lengthening where we actually sculpt or reshape the gum tissue to make those teeth a little bit longer and more attractive.

At The Dental Clinic Delhi we use Dental Laser for Gum Contouring as it gives bloodless and precise and painless results

Sometimes the bone around the teeth needs to be reshaped as well.

So we reshape the gum sometimes we reshape the bone to give the patient the look that they want and have a normal-looking smile with teeth and proportion to their face.

Another advantage of gum contouring is that it eliminates the deep gum pockets and prevents recurrent gum infections.

The results of gum contouring are permanent and long-lasting and the procedure is very safe.

Lip Lowering/ Lip Lengthening

Another procedure that we do is called lip lowering and we actually change the position of lips with teeth.

The procedure is actually done where the teeth are normal length so we really don’t have to do anything to the teeth

So we perform a lip repositioning where we lower the lip by removing a part of connective tissue from inside of the lip, so when the patient smile the lip doesn’t pull up as much.

Another benefit to that is that the lip becomes is fuller and kind of richer looking.

The procedure is safe and usually done under Local Anesthesia. The results are usually long-lasting but some relapse may occur after few years

Treatment of Systemic Causes

If the reason for excessive gum enlargement is hormonal or is due to medications or tumors, elimination of the causative factor is the cure for the gum enlargement.
