Smile Lift for Gummy Smiles Gold Coast QLD

Gum tissue that extends too far along the tooth can make teeth look short and disproportionate, similar to a child’s smile. Patients with gummy smiles can sometimes be embarrassed or uncomfortable about the way their smile looks but can be unsure of what action to take. At Advanced Dental Care Clinic, we offer a smile lift to patients who may want to reduce the amount of gum showing.

A smile lift will gently remove the excess gum tissue and reveal more of your teeth, giving the appearance of a lifted, more proportionate smile. A smile lift may be beneficial to patients who have gums covering a significant portion of their front teeth, or any teeth the show when smiling. Patients who have a high upper lip when they smile may also benefit from this treatment. There are however some cases where the gummy smile is caused from skeletal malpositioning. In those cases, other treatment options will be offered instead.

If you are unsure whether a smile lift will work for your smile, call us today to organise a consultation. Dr. Parrag works with her patients, as a partnership, to resolve the oral condition whilst enhancing the appearance of your smile. She will consider all options and present you with the best treatment plan for your individual needs. Your treatment plan is individual so Dr Parrag will encourage you to ask any questions or present any concerns, making sure you are comfortable with the procedures and have a thorough understanding of what will happen.
