Gum lengthening?

If teeth don't show enough there can be several reasons: lip length, gum length, and tooth length. These each have different treatments or can require combinations of care. Go to your dentist and discuss these options and you may also need to see a gum specialist, known as a periodontist, to evaluate your tissues. Good luck, I just completed a case like this, that now makes the patient's smile look gorgeous.
