I have a gummy smile and I hate it. I was looking up online about something called "gum contouring" but all the sites I went to were british. Have you or anyone you know had this done? Was is expensive? Did you have to go to a dentist who specializes in cosmetic dentistry?
Gummy smile and gum contouring?
oh yeah this is no problem! in my office i use a laser to remove a little gum tissue if we are talking just a little reshaping. that's usually just called a gingivectomy.
your central incisors are typically 8 mm wide and 10 mm tall. if you need 4 or more mm of tissue removed then you should consider going to a periodontist. all they do is work on gums and related procedures. that procedure is called crown lengthening.
if it's the first option then it's relatively pain free and not that expensive. if you need the second option then obviously it's a little more intense as far as discomfort and cost go.
google "cosmetic crown lengthening" and you'll get more info than you can imagine.
good luck.
