When you have a gummy smile, one of the options available to correct it is lip repositioning. This is a simple cosmetic surgical procedure that restricts the top lip and positions it to reduce the amount of exposed gum tissue. Dr. Aldo Sordelli delicately removes a small strip of tissue from the inside of the upper lip and the exposed area is sutured into a new, lower position. The result is a smile with less or no gum show.
