Santa Clara Dentist, Dr. Alan Frame, is Now Offering Treatments For Gummy Smiles

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Santa Clara dentist, Dr. Alan Frame, is now offering treatments for gummy smiles. A gummy smile is a smile in which a disproportionate amount of gum tissue is displayed when a person is smiling. In most cases, this is not a dental health issue, but it can cause significant embarrassment or dissatisfaction. Past gummy smile treatments often centered on orthognathic surgery, which was used to adjust the bone of the jaw and could have significant downtime. Today, Dr. Alan Frame can correct gummy smiles using a simple in-office procedure that has little downtime and fast results. 

During a gummy smile reduction, the excess gum tissue will be trimmed away to expose more of the natural tooth structure. The tissues can be sculpted and contoured around a single tooth or a series of teeth to create a more attractive smile line. This is usually done under local anesthesia. Patients may not even need stitches or bandages depending on how the procedure is performed. This new treatment option fits in well with Santa Clara dentist Dr. Frame's current suite of services and can be used alone or as a part of a smile makeover in conjunction with other restorative or cosmetic treatments.

Dr. Frame, Santa Clara dentist, offers comprehensive dental care for his patients, including:

• Routine checkups
• Biannual cleanings
• Tooth-colored fillings
• Porcelain crowns and bridges
• Ceramic veneers
• Teeth whitening
• Dental implants
• Root canal
