For many, flashes of teeth whitening treatments, porcelain veneers, and clear aligners come to mind. However, one popular treatment option that is often overlooked is the highly transformative gum recontouring procedure. If a crooked gum line or \u201cgummy\u201d smile leaves you feeling insecure, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sagedentalnv.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentist in Reno<\/a> is sharing common causes and traits that make someone a good candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6 Common Causes of a \u201cGummy\u201d Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to upgrading their smile, many patients want to fix the \u201cgummy\u201d look. However, it is important to find the root of the issue to ensure the treatment your dentist suggests yields the long-lasting results you desire. Therefore, they will conduct a thorough dental examination and screening to determine if you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Gingival hypertrophy (enlarged gums).<\/li><li>Vertical maxillary excess, which is an overgrown upper jaw that results in bulging gums.<\/li><li>A hyperactive upper lip, which is when the lip lifts too much when smiling.<\/li><li>Genetically short teeth.<\/li><li>Teeth that do not fully erupt from the gums.<\/li><li>Poor oral hygiene.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Gum Recontouring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also referred to as gum reshaping or tissue sculpting, this cosmetic procedure is designed to effectively reconstruct your gum line and improve your smile. This is done with a safe, soft tissue laser, which instantly corrects aesthetic issues, like the gums covering too much or too little of your teeth. However, it is also important to note that undergoing gum recontouring can correct an uneven gum line, fix red or puffy gums, and even be a crucial part of necessary regenerative procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Is a Good Candidate for Gum Recontouring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure that your procedure is successful, your dental team will confirm you are a good candidate at your initial consultation. If you are in good overall health, have a \u201cgummy\u201d smile, or are genetically predisposed to short teeth, then you are a good candidate for gum recontouring in Reno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your gums are causing you to feel insecure about your smile, then it is time to speak with your dentist about gum recontouring. Thanks to this innovative procedure, patients across the world are leaving their \u201cgummy\u201d smile behind for a fresh, new smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After earning his undergraduate degree from the University of Nevada, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sagedentalnv.com\/meet-dr-branco.html\">Dr. Josh Branco<\/a> completed his dental degree at Boston University.
