Fang Teeth and Very Gummy Smile Correction with Porcelain Veneers by Dr. Huefner
Crowded teeth and extremely gummy bothered Monica. And she really hated what she referred to as her “fang teeth”!
BEFORE Her teeth were so crowded that orthodontics was the best treatment, but she said “No way! I never would go through braces.” She then asked me, “Is there any other way you can help me with cosmetic dentistry?” Fortunately for her, the answer was “Yes.” We gave her the option of laser gum recontouring to correct her “over gummy smile”. After that was healed, we could give her straight teeth by placing porcelain veneers, a procedure we oftentimes call “instant orthodontics”. Below is a photo three days after reshaping away her excess gums with the dental gum laser.

We recommended 8 or 10 porcelain veneers, but she could only afford to do the six front teeth at this time. Here is the amazing photo of Monica with her new smile with six porcelain veneers. Notice….no more fang-teeth!
