Cosmetic Gum Recontouring: Correcting “Gummy Smiles”
Has anyone every said you have a “gummy smile”?
One of the first things you notice is someone’s smile. Whether it’s a grocery store, a first date, or in the mirror, your smile can be a window to your soul. Teeth are only one part of your smile. Your gum tissue is like a frame that provides form and shape to your tooth and plays a huge factor in the appearance of your smile.
The amount of gum tissue we show when we smile is a genetic predisposition that we are born with, Luckily, like the teeth, we can change that. Ideally, at full smile you should show no gum tissue or 2-3mm of gum tissue at the tops of your front teeth. Some people show 5mm or even 10mm of tissue when they smile. Hence, the term “gummy smile.” For many people a gummy smile can cause hesitation or embarrassment when it comes time to show off those pearly whites.
With Modern Dentistry’s state of the art technology, we can now correct your gummy smile. Our Periodontal laser is used to vaporize and shape your gum tissue. In only 30 minutes we can lengthen the appearance of your front teeth and remove all the excess gum tissue that causes your gummy smile!

I've been a patient for at least 4years. I hate the thought of going to the dentist. I was referred by Modern Dentistry wonderful Periodontist, I would need a deep cleaning. I was extremely terrified and notice. I am extremely sensitive … More and the thought of hearing a drill makes me cringe! I needed two appts (each section of my mouth needed to be done in two parts). The hygentist was THEE BEST!!! He informed me before hand the drill noise I will experience, but he will be gentle as possible and anesthesia will be need (omg). Both appts was handle with care and really smooth. No pain just pressure. I had my earphones on during both appts just to block out the drilling noise. There hygentisist is the BEST!!! HE DESERVES 20 STARS!!!! DON'T HESITATE MAKE YOUR APPT!!. Thank you Modern Dentistry! There staff is very pleasant and the office is extremely cleaned and well sanitized.
