Sarah,
from Rocky Hill, Connecticut was having a difficult time looking
herself in the mirror each morning. She had just had her braces
taken off, and for some unknown reason, her teeth protruded
so that there was a gap between her upper and lower teeth when
she smiled. "I was a mess," she says. So she decided to see
a cosmetic dentist. He managed to create a dazzling smile that
Sarah raves about to this day. How did he do it? Well, a little
gum contouring and veneer work can go a long way.
Gum contouring
is used to remove excessive tissue from the gum line and is
usually done in conjunction with veneers or another whitening
procedure. If your gums overpower your smile and it looks
like you never lost your baby teeth, or if your gum line is
asymmetrical - making your smile lopsided - this could be
the procedure for you.
