Each and every one of us has their own unique smile, however some people are a bit self-conscious about their smile because their gums start showing. This is why many search for a solution to this aesthetic problem. The dentists at Atrium Family Dental have seen many different cases of gummy smiles and have prescribed certain procedures that specifically target this cosmetic issue and have identified the possible causes of a gummy smile.
One of the treatments available for qualified patients is gum contouring. A laser is used to do away with the excess soft tissue and reveal more of the healthy teeth. This is a quick procedure with minimal pain if your gummy smile isn’t severe. This is all about reshaping or contouring the bone and also reducing or lifting the gum line. It will allow the teeth crown to have a more visible appearance compared to the gums. The goal is to make your smile look natural but at the same time the improvements should be obvious.

What is the color of your teeth? Natural teeth are rarely bright white in color. In fact, your teeth are more often than not light gray or light yellow in shade, and over the years, you can expect your teeth to change in color due to the food, beverages and even bad habits you might have such as smoking and drinking. You could also expect a build-up of surface stains which will only hinder you from really smiling.
The perception of others whenever they look at your teeth matters but you yourself should be aware of the changing color of your teeth, especially because it is an indication of a growing tooth problem. While you can claim that you can never have bright white teeth or really want to use tooth whitening, the truth is that first impressions matter, and a white smile can make you look more approachable, employable and successful.

A beautiful smile can make a world of difference to your appearance, your self-esteem and your confidence. If your teeth aren’t perfectly straight, you have the option of undergoing orthodontic treatment to give you that picture perfect smile.
Braces are considered to be the most common and traditional form of orthodontic treatment. On the other hand, Invisalign is fairly new on the market, but is steadily gaining in popularity, especially with the younger crowd, with 2 million smiles now straightened with Invisalign. Both braces and Invisalign work to give you straighter, healthier, and ultimately more beautiful teeth. Before choosing which option to get, have a talk with your dentist at Atrium Family Dental so that he might address any questions and concerns you might have regarding Invisalign vs. braces and which is right for you.
