Reducing a "Gummy Smile"

After living many years with a “gummy” smile Terrie wanted to make a change. She was interested in lengthening her teeth and reducing the amount of gum tissue that showed when she smiled. The ideal result for Terrie was to see a Periodontist for a gum lift. This is a minor procedure that makes a world of difference. Healthy, well-contoured tissue compliments and frames the teeth to give her a much more vibrant smile. In just a few visits Terrie had 10 porcelain veneers placed giving her a much more attractive smile.
