Do you feel like your smile shows too much gum or that your teeth look small? That’s what we call a gummy smile—when excess gum tissue covers more of your teeth than usual, making them appear shorter. In this video, Dr. Raha Yousefi breaks down everything you need to know about gummy smiles and how we treat them with Aesthetic Crown Lengthening. Using two real patient cases, Dr. Yousefi explains:
- What a gummy smile is
- Why excess gum (and bone) tissue can make teeth look short or hidden
- How Aesthetic Crown Lengthening reshapes both the gumline and underlying bone for longer, more balanced teeth
- What to expect during the recovery process
In this stunning before & after, Dr. Yousefi performed Aesthetic Crown Lengthening—a procedure that reshapes excess gum tissue and bone to reveal more of your natural teeth. The result? A more balanced, confident smile that lets your teeth, not your gums, take center stage.
If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about a gummy smile, aesthetic crown lengthening could be the solution you’ve been looking for. Ready to reveal your smile’s full potential? Schedule a consultation with us, we’d love to help you smile with confidence.
Here’s your post-op menu on what to eat and what to avoid!
- Day 1-2: Stick to cold, soft things like ice cream, smoothies, and yogurt.
- Days 3-7: Move to soft, room-temperature foods like mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and oatmeal.
Rule of thumb: If you can smash it with a fork, you can eat it. Steamed carrot? Yes. Raw carrot? Not yet.
Avoid foods that are crunchy, sticky, spicy, or have seeds or small particles (chips, sesame seeds, quinoa, popcorn). No alcohol, smoking, drinking from a straw, or chewing on the surgical site.
