Phoenix Gummy Smile
When too much of your upper gums show when you smile,
it is called a "gummy smile." Here is an illustration of a case
like this treated by Dr. Arthur Chal of Phoenix:
Cases like this are best not treated by a dentist
with less than advanced skills in cosmetic dentistry. But with the proper
experience and training, a cosmetic dentist like Dr. Chal can produce
amazing results. The procedure requires a
careful analysis of the bone structure and the gums around the teeth. If
the root length and bone support are strong enough, Dr. Chal will do a
"gum lift" procedure, moving the gums up so that some of the root of the
tooth will be exposed. Then porcelain veneers are created for the patient
to provide the proper tooth shape. This
procedure can provide dramatically attractive results, as you can see in
the above example. If you have a gummy
smile, call our office for a consultation and Dr. Chal will show you what
he can do for you. Visit

patients. |
