I do not consider on ever getting jaw surgery but i would like to get laser gum surgery and then perhaps lumineers but i am wondering if laser gum surgery will be able to take off alot of gum. thanks in advance. Original question: I have a gummy smile. I will post a picture. Is there any procedure that i can get done that will reduce my gummy smile without changing my actual teeth??? i heard about a hypermobile lip surgery to lower the upper lip but i live in Canada and seems to be rare to find a doctor that does that. Can anyone help me find a doctor that would do this procedure and perhaps the cost. I live close to Ottawa Ontario thanks.
