Achieve A Dazzling Smile With Clear Aligners

Everyone's gums are different; some high, some low, some in-between. Your gums are unique to you; however, that doesn't mean they can't be improved with some slight adjustments. If you're self-conscious about your gumline and feel it's impacting your smile, gummy smile treatment is a great option to help reshape your gumline!

What Is Gummy Smile Treatment?

The process of the gummy smile procedure involves gently removing excess gum tissue around your teeth or, if you have gum recession, restoring gum tissue. This condition can result from several factors, including genetics, an overactive lip muscle, or dental issues such as misalignment. In most cases, you'll remain awake during the procedure, and before your Grand Terrance Dental Group dentist begins, he'll apply a local anesthetic to the area of interest. The length of the procedure will vary depending on you and your needs.

We work hard to ensure we maintain an open dialogue with our patients so you'll know what results to expect and what will occur during your procedure. Overall, gummy smile treatment not only enhances the appearance of a person’s smile but can also boost confidence and improve self-esteem, allowing patients to feel more comfortable and happy with their smiles.

Is Gummy Smile Treatment Painful?

The level of discomfort depends on the individual, but generally, you can expect some tenderness afterward. If you're worried about pain or have general anxiety around this treatment, please reach out to our Grand Terrace Dental team, and we can discuss your questions and concerns.
