Excess gum tissue can create the appearance of short teeth and a "gummy" smile—and make your oral health more difficult to manage. A number of factors can cause a gummy smile. Philadelphia periodontist, Dr. Stephen Brown can remove excess gum tissue to give your mouth a new look. Esthetic crown lengthening can enhance your smile by creating a more even gumline, making the teeth appear longer. The procedure can also improve the patient's ability to eat and allows for better oral hygiene, resulting in less irritation.
During Cosmetic Crown Lengthening, a cosmetic periodontal procedure, gum tissue is surgically removed, and in some cases, some of the underlying bone is also removed.
In this example, a young lady had experienced irritation from braces (orthodontics). If a patient has excessive gum tissue at the time of orthodontic treatment, the gums can become irritated by the braces, even with proper oral care. Following orthodontic treatment and removal of her braces, an overgrowth and enlargement of her gums became evident, making her teeth appear much too short and her smile much too "gummy".
