Gummy Smile Surgeon, Dr. Alex Farnoosh, is Now Offering Gum Contouring and Dark Smile Treatments
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Gummy smile surgery expert, Dr. Alex Farnoosh, now offers gum contouring and dark gums treatments. These treatments can be excellent options for patients who are unhappy with their smiles due to cosmetic periodontal concerns or unsightly gums. These treatments are noninvasive or minimally invasive and have little downtime. Dr. Farnoosh has pioneered some of the most innovative techniques in cosmetic gum modification and offers treatments to correct virtually any issue.
Several factors can lead to a gummy smile, including:
- Insufficient lip length
- Hypermobile lip
- Improper eruption of teeth
- Vertical maxillary excess, or deformities in the upper jaw
- Maxilla protrusion, or overbite
A dento-gingival analysis along with measurements and other diagnostics is essential for identifying the underlying cause of the gummy smile. Once gummy smile surgeon, Dr. Farnoosh, determines the source of the problem, he may recommend aesthetic crown lengthening or gum contouring, lip lowering procedures or jaw surgery. "Since 1998, I have treated numerous gummy smiles using a lip lowering procedure that minimizes the look of excessive gum tissue. In addition, depending on the cause, aesthetic crown lengthening or reshaping the incisal edge of the upper front teeth can be used," according to Dr. Farnoosh.
Dark colored gums treatments can be used separately or in addition to gummy smile treatments. Dark gums treatments are performed using a special bleaching agent and a dermabrasion procedure to lighten discolorations due to heredity, smoking and other factors.
