A "gummy smile," or excess gingival display, is a condition where too much pink tissue can be seen when a person speaks or smiles. Gummy smile lines and shortened teeth needlessly frustrate people wanting to achieve a beautiful smile.
The smile lift procedure can help people enjoy smiling and posing for photographs for the first time. The procedure combines laser plastic surgery and cosmetic dental restorations. Shortened teeth are elegantly lengthened and gummy smiles can be shaped to a predetermined design.
