What is gummy smile?

A smile is considered a 'gummy smile' if a significant amount of gums can be seens as a person smiles. Below

I personally think that a person's appearance, 70% is depending on the smile. Or you might say that if she/he looks ugly or so so... i would say that people's are rely on make-up or garment dressed. In this world, no one is ugly. Everyone has a good looking.

Correcting gummy smile can be accomplished by one oof two possible simple surgical procedures. The first procedure is called a gingivetomy. Gingivectomies are performed when the amount of gum reduction necessary is minimal such as in mild gummy smiles. During a gingivetomy, a minimal of gum tissue is removed. The procedure is painless, requires no sutures, and the gum tissues usually heal within two weeks.

More advanced gummy smiles require more extensive tissue reduction. This is performed by a procedure known as crown lengthening. During this painless procedure, the gum tissues are contoured around each individual tooth. The tissue is lifted off the bone and placed in a desired new position. The tissues are sutured into place and allowed to heal for 7 - 10 days. After initial healing, the sutures are removed. The newly repositioned gums are allowed to heal for an additional 5 - 7 weeks before any final restorations can be placed. Following a crown lengthening procedure, further treatment with either porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns will be required to achieve a beautiful new smile. These final restorations can be completed in just two visits.
