There is a new dental material that is new on the market from a dental manufacturing company VOCO that may helpin certain esthetic cases. It is a pink composite dental filling material that can be used on the root surface of the tooth. If the gums have receeded this material "may" make the tooth appear look not as long. Denver dentists Dr. James DeLapp and Dr. H. Candace DeLapp believe this may be a treatment option for patients who display too much root surface when they smile. Their dental office serves the Denver metro area including Greenwood Village, Centennial, Englewood, Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, Castle Pine, Parker, and Ken Caryl areas of Colorado.

A high smile line... showing lots of gum tissue!
A high gummy smile is likely to show excessive root surfaces of a tooth that may give you the appearance of being older that you are (or not)! If you have a low smile line... that is good because in most instances you will show little to no gummy and long tooth smile.The treatment options in the past included:
- No treatment... living with root surfaces shosing
- Gum grafting... with variable results
- Dental crown with pink porcelain on the lower 1/3 of the tooth
Our Denver Dentists now have another option available to "mitigate" the long tooth look. Pink composite dental filling material is availabel and may "help" with your problem. Is the color perfect on everyone... absolutely not! Does it tend to mask the long tooth look... yes. Knowing what the options are gives you the ability to make a more informed decision on what direction you would like your treatment to go.
