Periodontic and General Periodontal Procedure Dental PicturesLip Surgery - Repositioning the Upper Lip
Our young patient presented in our office with a major complaint of having a gummy smile.She was in the midst of planning her wedding and inquired about procedures that could change the appearance of her smile. As the adjacent photos show... our patient also had an unusual characteristic to her smile. Her upper lip had a tendency to ride up high on her upper arch... exposing an above average amount of gum tissue, thereby producing the "gummy look". 
Gum Contouring - Crown LengtheningAfter consulting with Dr. Nemeth, it was determined that she could undergo crown lengthening, resulting in a recontouring and reshaping of her upper gum structures that would reveal more tooth area.The excessive gum tissue gave the appearance of having small teeth. 
The 2nd and 3rd photos in our series show how the connective tissues between the patient's upper lip and gum structures were altered and resutured.The 4th picture in particular shows a significant reduction in tissue, creating the net effect of reducing the amount of upward movement of her lip when smiling. The gummy smile appearance was significantly reduced.
