WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS FOR ADDRESSING A GUMMY SMILE?

One of the most common cosmetic complaints our dentist fields from Barrie-area patients is the gummy smile. Your teeth should be the most prominent thing in your mouth when you smile, and if you have excessive gum tissue that can seemingly shroud or hide your teeth, you know this is a significant issue.

The causes of a gummy smile are many, but the solution is simple. Gum recontouring from our Barrie dentist is a safe, simple way of addressing the problem and giving you the smile you want.

Gum recontouring no longer requires a scalpel. Instead, Dr. Adam Chapnick uses a soft tissue laser to remove precise amounts of excess gum tissue. This is only after applying a local anesthetic to your gums to numb them.

Our dentist often recommends Barrie-area patients get gum recontouring as part of a larger smile makeover. Dr. Chapnick understands how to use multiple procedures to re-shape and rejuvenate a smile that might need just a little bit of help.
