Treatment Planning: Based on our findings, we develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. Gummy smiles can be caused by factors such as excessive gum tissue, short upper lip, hyperactive lip muscles, or vertical maxillary excess. Treatment options may include:

Gum Contouring: Using advanced laser or surgical techniques, we can reshape the gumline to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. This procedure involves removing excess gum tissue to reveal more of the tooth structure.

Lip Repositioning: In cases where a hyperactive upper lip contributes to the gummy smile, we may recommend lip repositioning surgery to adjust the position of the lip and minimize its upward movement when smiling.

Orthodontic Treatment: If dental misalignment or excessive vertical growth of the upper jaw (vertical maxillary excess) is contributing to the gummy smile, orthodontic treatment such as braces or clear aligners may be recommended to reposition the teeth and jaw.

Treatment Execution: Our skilled dental professionals perform the chosen treatment with precision and care, ensuring optimal results and patient comfort throughout the process.

Post-Treatment Care: Following gummy smile treatment, we provide detailed postoperative instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort. We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns that may arise.

TMJ Treatment:

Comprehensive Evaluation: TMJ disorders can result from various factors, including jaw misalignment, muscle tension, trauma, or arthritis. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your TMJ function, bite alignment, and related symptoms to determine the underlying cause of your TMJ disorder.

Treatment Planning: Based on our assessment, we develop a personalized treatment plan to address your TMJ symptoms and improve jaw function. Treatment options may include:

Conservative Therapies: Initially, we may recommend conservative approaches such as lifestyle modifications, jaw exercises, stress management techniques, and pain medications to alleviate TMJ symptoms.

Occlusal Splints: Custom-fitted occlusal splints or nightguards can help stabilize the jaw joint, prevent teeth grinding or clenching, and reduce muscle tension associated with TMJ disorders.

Orthodontic Treatment: If bite misalignment contributes to TMJ symptoms, orthodontic treatment may be recommended to correct the bite and improve jaw function.

Surgical Intervention: In severe cases of TMJ disorders that do not respond to conservative treatments, surgical options such as arthrocentesis, arthroscopy, or open joint surgery may be considered to repair or replace damaged joint structures.

Treatment Execution: We implement the chosen treatment plan with a focus on patient comfort and successful outcomes. Our experienced dental team utilizes advanced techniques and technologies to deliver effective TMJ treatment.

Post-Treatment Care: After TMJ treatment, we provide comprehensive postoperative care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.
