Correction of a "Gummy Smile"

For some individuals, laughing and smiling can display too much gum tissue, with teeth appearing unnaturally short. Frequently the teeth are actually of perfect size and shape, merely hidden by excess gum. With x-ray films as a guide, the non-functional tissue can be precisely removed yielding a "new" and pleasing smile.
