The requirement is that all teeth including molars are present and that they are properly laid out.

Bonding Teeth:

Gummy Smile:

The gummy smile can be caused by aging, gum diseases like gingivitis, bacterial infections or gum injury, which cause overgrowth of gum tissue that must be trimmed off.

In this case, often, the dentist performs Gingivectomy which is gum contouring to shape the spots where tissue extends lower than others, resulting in a straighter, more symmetrical smile.

Gingivectomy is done by using laser tool to cut away pieces of gum tissue. This is called soft tissue incision. Lasers are more precise and allow faster healing. the cauterization due to the heat of the laser, lead to lower risk of infections from contaminated metal tools.

Gingivectomy is usually done before gum disease has damaged the bone supporting your teeth.

All the previous treatments are cosmetic dental treatments to enhance and protect the teeth, although there are some other factors like the shape of lips or the surrounding muscles of mouth which play an enormous role to show the smile. Luckily, in MERTERDENT CLINIC in Turkey our doctors can use Botox and/or Filler to create a symmetric faultless smile.
