For many years, I struggled with my gummy smile. I thought it was something I had to live with because I didn’t know there was anything that could be done to fix it. Once I started doing my research, I learned there were different procedures that could be done like gum lift, crown lengthening, botox. Many of them said that my gums would have to be cut back using a laser to reveal more of my teeth, but I also learned about the lip lowering procedure to reposition the lip. I felt this was the right choice for me and came across Dr. Farnoosh’s website while I was online one day. I saw the photo gallery and was so impressed with the success that he had. I knew that with his level of experience and his specialization in gummy smile treatment I would be in good hands. After reading the patient stories and hearing what great work he did on others, I immediately called and scheduled a consultation. The staff and Dr. Farnoosh made me feel welcome and comfortable during my initial consultation and during the hour-long procedure. The office staff went above and beyond my expectations! They helped me make appointments around my schedule because I came from out of town and even recommended hotels nearby. Dr. Farnoosh and his staff changed my life by giving me the smile I’ve always wanted! Now, I have the confidence I need to do the things I want to do. When I laugh or smile, I am no longer worried about people staring at my gummy smile and I have Dr. Farnoosh to thank for that. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their smile and I will be telling everyone I know about how great my experience was!
