The patient’s gums were reduced with a crown lengthening
procedure. 12 porcelain veneers were then placed to
establish a more pleasant looking smile, enhancing
facial beauty. |
|
|
 |
|
This severe gummy smile was corrected by crown
lengthening surgery and 8 porcelain veneers. |
|
|
|
 |
|
This patient felt that her gummy smile was hopeless, but
a combination of gum surgery and 10 porcelain veneers
gave her an enviable smile. |
|
|
 |
|
In
addition to having a gummy smile, this patient was
missing two teeth, known as her upper lateral incisors.
Her smile was greatly improved with gummy smile
reduction surgery followed by 10 porcelain veneers and
bleaching of her lower teeth. |
|
|
 |
|
Here we see a moderate to advanced gummy smile. With a
combination of crown lengthening surgery to reduce the
gums, 5 porcelain veneers, and a porcelain bridge, this
patient now has a normal looking, attractive smile. |
|
|
 |
|
In
this case the patient’s gingival tissue was both gummy
and bulky, causing her upper lip to stretch. The gum
tissue was trimmed and contoured and 10 new porcelain
crowns were placed. This gave her a more natural
looking lip and healthier appearing smile. |
|
|
 |
|
With the help of a crown lengthening procedure, 2
porcelain crowns, and 8 porcelain veneers, this
patient’s smile was restored. |
|
 |
|
This patient had intrusion of her upper incisors and
excess gum tissue in her lower anterior area. The teeth
were brought forward with 10 porcelain veneers and a
minor gum reduction surgery corrected her lower teeth,
giving her a fantastic cosmetic improvement. |
|
 |
|
Besides having a gummy smile, this patient had teeth
that were too short for her face. The gums were
corrected with crown lengthening surgery and 8 porcelain
veneers were placed to establish the proper tooth
length. |
|
 |
|
This patient was unhappy with her pointed canines, tiny
“peg” lateral incisors, and mild gummy smile. Gum
reduction surgery and 6 porcelain veneers create an
esthetically pleasing smile. |
|
 |
|
This case is another example of a severe gummy smile and
bulky gums stretching the patient’s upper lip. Notice
how after her gums were reduced with a crown lengthening
procedure, her upper lip looks more natural and relaxed
while showcasing her new porcelain veneers. |
|
 |
|
Here we see how even a mild gum reduction with no change
of the existing teeth can greatly improve the way a
smile looks. |
|
 |
|
A
severe gummy smile and worn teeth can make a face look
significantly older. After crown lengthening surgery
and porcelain veneers, the patient looks 7 plus years
younger. |
|
 |
|
A
severe gummy smile with worn teeth was easily corrected
with gum reduction surgery and just 6 porcelain veneers. |
|
 |
|
Sometimes reducing the gums on only one side of the
mouth can make a world of difference. |
|
 |
|
Notice how gum reduction surgery made the upper lip look
fuller and more natural. |
|
 |
|
Crown lengthening surgery and 8 porcelain veneers
completely transformed the look of this patient’s face. |
|
 |
|
Gummy
smile correction and 12 porcelain veneers completely
revitalized this patient’s face. |
