Lip Repositioning Options for Patients From Park City
For Park City patients, selecting the right provider for lip repositioning may matter more than selecting the nearest office. Elite Smiles offers a private Draper consultation focused on clarity, design judgment, and realistic expectations.
A gummy smile can have more than one cause
Visible gum tissue may relate to lip movement, tooth proportions, gum position, tooth eruption, or jaw relationships. Identifying the contributing factors is important because lip repositioning is not the correct treatment for every type of excessive gum display.
Lip repositioning changes how far the upper lip elevates
Lip repositioning is a soft-tissue procedure intended to limit excessive upward movement of the upper lip in selected patients. The examination should evaluate smile dynamics, tissue anatomy, expectations, and whether another or combined approach is more appropriate.
The diagnosis determines whether the procedure fits
Candidates should receive an individualized evaluation of gum display, lip mobility, periodontal health, tooth proportions, previous treatment, and medical considerations. Results and stability vary, and limitations should be discussed before treatment.
Plan for healing and temporary activity adjustments
Post-treatment instructions may address swelling, diet, oral hygiene, facial movement, medication, and follow-up. The expected recovery and restrictions should be reviewed for your specific procedure before scheduling.
What your gummy-smile consultation includes
The purpose of the first visit is to understand your goals, identify the factors that affect candidacy, and explain reasonable next steps without promising a treatment before evaluation.
Treatment Planning Should Begin With the Whole Smile
Cosmetic treatment should account for oral health, function, facial proportions, and what the patient wants to change. Dr. Walter Meden, DDS, earned his dental degree from New York University, completed a post-doctoral residency at New York Hospital, completed a surgical internship at Mt. Sinai Medical Center, pursued advanced aesthetic training through LVI, and brings more than 20 years of experience to patient consultations at Elite Smiles.
