This chapter from Amazing Smiles Through Cosmetic Dentistry explains or demonstrates gummy smile as part of Dr. Albert J. Kurpis’s broader cosmetic dentistry approach to improving smile balance, appearance, and confidence.
The right treatment depends on the condition of the teeth, gums, bite, facial balance, smile goals, and a professional examination. Similar-looking smile problems may require different solutions.
Cosmetic dentistry is designed to improve the appearance of the teeth and smile. For many patients, a more balanced and attractive smile can also improve confidence in social, personal, and professional situations.
