Gummy smile reduction: A Beverly Hills, CA beauty secret
In an ideal smile, the upper lip grazes the gum line when you smile. However, an estimated 15 percent of our population has a disproportionate gum to tooth ratio. When they smile, a broad band of gum tissue shows above the upper arch. The team at Dental Health and Wellness Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills, CA provides conventional and advanced laser surgery for gummy smile reduction.
The last point is the most common, and the most easily addressed without orthodontics or plastic surgery.
In some cases, traditional oral surgery is necessary for gum recontouring. Our periodontist is also trained and experienced in this technique.
What causes a gummy smile?
The best proportions are maintained with about two millimeters of gum showing when you smile. Any amount over three millimeters looks “gummy.” In addition, some people have uneven gums. These conditions are generally genetic and caused by: Hypermobile lips that pull way back when you smile, Short upper lip, Overbite, Short teeth and Excessive gum tissue.The last point is the most common, and the most easily addressed without orthodontics or plastic surgery.
Gum reshaping
Gummy smile surgery is a relatively minor procedure that creates toothy smiles. While laser surgery causes minimal discomfort, local anesthetic may be administered to ensure your wellbeing. Then, the dentist uses a special laser to precisely recontour gums without harm to teeth. The laser automatically cauterizes, so there is little to no bleeding, and gums heal quickly with minimal risk of infection. The procedure can be performed alone, or in preparation for dental veneers, crowns, or fillings.In some cases, traditional oral surgery is necessary for gum recontouring. Our periodontist is also trained and experienced in this technique.

I had to get crown lengthening surgery. I researched different procedures and didn't like the idea of going under the knife. That is how I found Dr. Moldovan who uses state of the art equipment like the Waterlase. I called her office, asked a bunch of questions, and really like that they were going to use laser instead of a knife and that recovery time was going to be so much less. I was in and out in under an hour, had no need for pain killers as I had no pain, and was able to get my crown with no trouble. Even my dentist was impressed with the results from the surgery as it made his job that much easier.
This was by far the best experience I could have hoped for. I recommend Dr. Moldovan to anyone looking for a professional who is holistic, who truly cares about her patients, and how is very gentle. Thank you Dr. Moldovan!

Greet I. | 5 Doctor Moldovan is one of the best periodontist I have ever encountered. I'm an entertainment journalist and travel all over the world. Recently I had a dental emergency and went to see Dr Sanda Moldovan. I was truly amazed at her professionalism and meticulous way of working. Not only does she have the best state of the art equipment available to her patients but she is also extremely well crafted and up to date with the latest dental technologies the world has to offer. Upon entering her office, I felt immediately comforted and safe with her. She is a very nurturing, warm dentist who patiently explains each and every procedure with care. She extracted my tooth and was able to immediately put a teeth implant, all this in one procedure. A few hours later, I walked out of her office relieved that my intense toothache was gone. A few days later the tissue around the implant was healed amazingly. If you ever need an excellent professional periodontist who not only knows her craft but also loves her work and patients than go and see Dr. Sanda Moldavan! I promise you, you will not regret it! Thank you Dr. Moldovan, you were a life saver.
