Treatment of Gummy Smiles

We see many patients who are dissatisfied with what they call a “gummy smile.” This phenomenon is the result of gum tissue that extends down to cover too much of the tooth, which can make your teeth look stubby and small. In fact, overgrown or uneven gums can give distort your smile in all sorts of ways, including giving teeth a slanted, large, or misshapen appearance.

Dr. Tracey is a highly trained and experienced general, cosmetic, and restorative dentist, so he understands how all facets of your smile work together to create a healthy and attractive result. If beautiful teeth are improperly framed by too much gum tissue, Dr. Tracey can perform gum sculpting with our precise, comfortable dental laser. In just one visit, your smile can be sculpted into the desired result, one that keeps gum tissue in proper balance, creating an attractive appearance.

Gum contouring is one of the simplest and most dramatic cosmetic dentistry treatments available, along with teeth whitening, bonding, and porcelain veneers. If you would like to correct your smile’s gummy appearance, come visit our Pomona office to see what Dr. Tracey can do for you. Gingival sculpting may be the perfect solution!
