Corrective Procedure for Gummy Smiles and Dark Colored Gums

    LOS ANGELES, CA, April 10, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Attractive smiles include not only bright, healthy teeth but also gums that are smooth, pink, and healthy. Too much gum tissue or discolored gum tissue can detract from the overall appearance of a smile. Gummy smile surgeon, Dr. Alex Farnoosh, offers corrective procedures for gummy smiles and dark-colored gums to help patients achieve their best smiles yet.

According to Dr. Farnoosh, "I use periodontal plastic surgery and smile enhancement procedures to form the foundation for restorative and aesthetic dentistry. Your Total Smile can look attractive in every way with beautiful teeth, healthy good-looking gums, and attractive lips." Discolored gums treatments and cosmetic periodontal surgeries can give patients the smiles they want and deserve.

Treatments available through Dr. Farnoosh include:

- Cosmetic gum bleaching and gum lightening
This black gums treatment combines a topical gum bleaching procedure with dermabrasion for dramatic and permanent results.

- Botox
Botox is a temporary solution that can lower the position of the upper lip for a more balanced looking smile.

- Gummy smile lip lowering
A surgical procedure perfected by Dr. Farnoosh can adjust the position of the lip.

- Gum reshaping (contouring)
Excess gum tissue extending over the tooth can be trimmed and sculpted to expose more of the crown for a more proportionate appearance.

- Aesthetic crown lengthening
Excess gum and bone tissue extending over the natural crown of teeth can leave the tooth looking short or stumpy. Removing this tissue can reveal more of the crown for a more attractive look.
