Procedures are undertaken to improve a "gummy smile", wherein the teeth appear short and too much gum tissue can be seen. Your teeth may actually be the proper length,but they are covered with too much gum tissue. To correct this,esthetic crown lengthing is performed. The excess gum and bone tissue are reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth.this can be done to one tooth or to several teeth to expose a natural, broad smile. On the other hand,some patients may feel that they have exceptionally long teeth.this can be caused due to excessive gum recession which causes the tooth root to become exposed,thus making the teeth look long. Soft tissue grafts and other root coverage procedures can be used to cover the exposed tooth roots,to reduce further gum recession and to protect the vulnerable roots from futher decay.
