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.
