Gummy Smile


A gummy smile hides the natural beauty of your teeth, making them look too short. It can create the illusion of problems with your teeth and your dental health that aren’t there. Conversely, teeth that truly are too short can create the illusion of too much gum tissue. Whatever the cause of your gummy smile, Dr. Kleive can offer healthy, naturally beautiful solutions.
