Fortunately, there are multiple ways you can make your grin more proportionate and beautiful, and your dentist can tailor each of these treatments according to your unique dental needs! Read on to learn more about porcelain veneers in Arcadia and 4 other potential ways to say good-bye to a gummy smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers are thin shells attached to the front of the teeth to hide any number of cosmetic flaws. In addition to hiding cracks and stains, it can also be used to change the shape and size of the tooth itself. By making the teeth appear longer, they will look proportionate to the gums, resulting in a much more aesthetically pleasing smile all around. The number of veneers needed depends on how extensive the problem is; depending on your needs, you could potentially get enough implants for every visible tooth or just a few strategically chosen ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. BOTOX<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>BOTOX has more uses than just getting rid of wrinkles! Sometimes the appearance of a gummy smile is due to the way the upper lip curls or raises high above the teeth. With BOTOX, your dentist can help the lip relax so that it doesn\u2019t pull back as much so that the gums aren\u2019t as visible. That means all eyes will be on your dazzling teeth \u2013 where they should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Orthodontics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the gums appear more prominent because of the positioning of the teeth and jaws \u2013 say, due to an overbite. By correcting these problems with orthodontics, you can decrease the amount of gum tissue that\u2019s visible whenever you smile. The appropriate type of orthodontic treatment depends on the severity of your alignment problems as well as your lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Gum Recontouring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most direct way to take care of a gummy smile is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canzoneridentistry.com\/gum-recontouring.html\">gum recontouring<\/a> in Arcadia. This treatment is relatively straightforward. Your dentist simply examines the gum line and takes note of areas where there\u2019s too much tissue. Then the excess part of the gums is surgically removed. Thanks to modern laser dentistry, this can be done with a minimal amount of discomfort and bleeding. In fact, you may not even need to have your mouth numbed for it. By the end, your dentist will have sculpted a much more attractive smile for you to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all gummy smiles are alike. The best form of treatment is going to vary depending on the underlying cause of your problem. If you\u2019re not sure why your dentist is recommending a specific solution, be sure to voice your concerns right away. Once you\u2019ve found the right kind of treatment, a better smile won\u2019t be too far off in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Kenneth J.
