Treating Gummy Smiles

Have you ever felt self-conscious about showing too much gum when you smile, only to be told there's no solution? Good news—there are options! Many people hold back from smiling fully to hide their gums, but you don’t have to. We believe everyone should feel proud of their smile. While some dentists may suggest costly orthognathic surgery, that’s not always necessary. Orthognathic surgery is sometimes indicated for skeletal issues, but results can vary.

 

Our office specializes in advanced gummy smile treatments, including Botox, minor gum surgery, and orthodontic solutions. Speak with Dr. Stanford Chen or Dr. Mike Hsieh to explore the best option for you.
