Q: I have a gummy smile I would like to fix, but I also have really small teeth. So I’m not sure which would be the easiest or cheapest route to make me look better: gum reduction surgery, or something like veneers.
A: I would suggest a consultation with a laser-trained periodontist who can provide a range of options if you need gum reduction or hard tissue crown lengthening. In addition, the restorative dentist needs to be involved in the decision on how best to proceed to create a cosmetic result with healthy gums.
