Gummy smiles can be corrected using treatments such as orthodontic therapy, gum contouring surgery, etc. Gum contouring procedure done under local anesthesia is a permanent solution. The excess of the gum is removed away, using a scalpel or laser, in such a manner it reduces the gingival display as well as increases the length of the crown. It also matches the contour of the teeth. Most patients attest to having a smooth recovery post-operation.
