Gummy Smiles

Many patients have excess gum tissue on one tooth, or excess tissue on multiple teeth. Excess tissue can be created by medication, genetics, inflammation, or other causes. At Southwest Michigan Periodontics, Dr. Brayton and his staff use both traditional surgery and laser technology to creatively remove and recontour the entire gum line. Often this procedure can be performed with a laser for a relatively pain free procedure. Click to view Before and After examples in our Photo Gallery!
