Comments on: Do You Have A Gummy Smile? http://www.dentalhealthsite.com/gummy-smile/ Dental health articles, resources and advice Fri, 09 Apr 2010 03:40:04 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Dr. Farnoosh http://www.dentalhealthsite.com/gummy-smile/comment-page-1/#comment-167 Dr. Farnoosh Tue, 08 Sep 2009 22:45:58 +0000 http://www.dentalhealthsite.com/?p=759#comment-167 Many dentists claim that crown lengthening, which involves cutting back, and re-sculpting the gum line, will correct any gummy smile. Unfortunately, crown lengthening alone either via traditional surgical blade or via laser is often insufficient. While crown lengthening may be effective in diminishing some gummy smiles, it can often create teeth that appear too long producing a "horse-like" appearance. I have found my method of lip lowering to be far more effective with minimal discomfort and a low risk of complications. I maintain that my method of lip lowering is the best treatment for patients with gummy smiles.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('167','Dr. Farnoosh'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('167','Dr. Farnoosh','Many dentists claim that crown lengthening, which involves cutting back, and re-sculpting the gum line, will correct any gummy smile.
