So when it comes to gummy smile treatment here at Moment Dental Arts, we offer a few different options. The easiest option would be to actually do Botox injections into the muscles that are responsible for lifting up the lip. It is a very effective treatment.
It only takes about two to ten days for it to settle in. It is something that you do have to keep up with every three months though. Another option that we can offer is surgical options.
I have a laser in office that we can use. You know, more often than not, we don’t even have to numb the patient. That’s for select cases.
For other cases, we can do gum surgery in order to actually open up and show the tooth structure that’s been missing underneath the gums. Another option that we can do too is we can potentially restore the teeth with things like Invisalign to move the teeth into a proper position. So this way we can, you know, move the teeth away from having to show so much gum.
