Gum Surgery: Alex
Description
Alex is a young man in his early twenties and wanted to reduce the amount of gum he showed when he smiles. Upon evaluating his case in our Coral Gables, Miami office, Dr. Ospina recommended the following course of treatment for him. First, Alex had an in office chair-side Zoom! Two whitening procedure performed. Then the Gummy Smile Reduction Surgery was performed one week later. Lastly, he had light gum contouring performed to increase the amount of tooth shown when he smiles, while evening out the tooth gum line. Notice how the slanted appearance of his smile has been reduced with the combination of both procedures. Two weeks after his crown lengthening Dr. Ospina performed lip reposition to bring the lip down.
