For as long as I can remember, I have been unhappy with my smile. I feel like my gums are very visible and are much wider than most people. My dentist refers to this as a gummy smile. As I was discussing my dissatisfaction for my gums with my dentist, he told me about a procedure I had never heard about. Laser gum surgery can help push some of your gums down, helping the gums to look more normal and less noticeable. I immediately began researching the procedure.
