Gummy smile
Too much gum showing when you smile.
Crown Lengthening in Ho Chi Minh City
A balanced smile, gum line included
Crown lengthening reshapes the gum, and sometimes the bone beneath it, so that more of the tooth shows. It can correct a gummy smile or prepare a short or broken tooth for a crown.
Benefits
