Can cosmetic dentistry will work for gummy smile?
I have gummy smile… it looks very bad!!! can any one tell me that if i go for cosmetic dentistry, will it works for my gummy smile??
Absolutely! I used to keep my mouth half closed when i smiled because all i saw were gums……everyone else told me it was fine but it was a self conscious thing. So i went to the periodontist (gum specialist) and he made sure i had more than enough gums (so that they wont expose the roots) and did a simple procedure where i was numbed and basically had the gums cut back to expose more of my teeth. I had to wear gauze over my gums for the day and i was a little bloody and sore for a few days but it looks so good now…..I dont have any before pictures but i have afters….i didnt show my teeth before….definitely an awesome surgery….i know exactly how you feel!!!
Good luck!
