I got my gums bleached a year ago and I'm very happy with them 12 months later. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get it done. The office is very nice and so is the staff. The doctor did a great job informing me what to expect during and after the procedure.
I wore braces as an adult during pregnancy which resulted in severe gum recession and bone damage. Dr. Farnoosh saved my teeth!!! I am more than thankful. I can't imagine going through tooth loss after wearing braces for three years and spending thousands of dollars. Gum grafting was a small price to pay. Dr. Fanoosh gave me back my confidence and my smile is fantastic.
Thanks for posting your photos. You have a wonderful smile. There are a number of treatment options designed to reduce the amount of gums that show for people who are concerned about gummy smiles. Recommending a specific procedure, however, requires the detailed results of a physical assessment to diagnose the cause of the gummy smile. As other specialists previously responded, it's possible that you would benefit from oral surgery to reposition your jaw. That may be enough, or you may also need laser gum contouring to get the desired aesthetic results. Good luck.
Thank you for your question. Based on the photos provided, it appears you could benefit from laser gum contouring (sometimes called a gum lift). If you are considering orthodontic work for your teeth, your orthodontist will be able to diagnose the cause of your gummy smile and suggest a treatment plan. Gum contouring combined with a lip lowering procedure is often the best approach for reducing the appearance of a gummy smile.
A lip lift will expose more of your gums and create more of a gummy smile. Others have suggested getting BOTOX injections, which weaken the muscles that lift your upper lip. That will produce a more relaxed smile, but remember that BOTOX is a temporary treatment that usually wears off after about 3 to 4 months. Good luck to you.
Thank you for including photos with your question. At a glance, a smile makeover may work for you, but the best discussion about specific procedures or treatments is informed by X-rays and a complete assessment of your facial anatomy. Find a board-certified periodontist or orthodontist who can diagnose the reason for the asymmetry shown in your photos. Good luck.
Thank you for your question and reaching out to this forum for answers. The best way to decide on a treatment plan for your gummy smile is to consult with an experienced, board-certified periodontist – a person who specializes in keeping gums healthy and looking their best. Based on your photo, it appears you could benefit from gum contouring combined with lip lowering – a procedure I helped pioneer. The lip lowering procedure only requires a local anesthetic, and it's an excellent alternative to more invasive surgery.
