Welcome to Dr. Ghayoumi’s Office, where we specialize in innovative dental procedures, including the highly sought-after technique known as lip repositioning. As a periodontist with extensive expertise in cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Ghayoumi is dedicated to helping patients achieve their desired smiles and boost their confidence.








Lip repositioning is a revolutionary procedure that addresses a common concern among individuals with a gummy smile or excessive gingival display. This condition occurs when a significant portion of the gums is visible when smiling, causing self-consciousness and impacting overall facial aesthetics.
Fortunately, lip repositioning offers a safe and effective solution to this problem. This minimally invasive procedure involves the repositioning of the upper lip to reveal less gum tissue while smiling, resulting in a more harmonious and balanced smile. It is an exact technique that requires a skilled and experienced dentist like Dr. Ghayoumi, who understands the intricate anatomy of the lips and gums.
The process begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which Dr. Ghayoumi will evaluate your unique facial structure, dental condition, and the extent of your gum display. She will take the time to listen to your concerns and discuss your smile goals to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.
During the procedure, Dr. Ghayoumi will make a small incision along the gum line and carefully reposition the underlying tissues and muscles that control lip movement. By delicately adjusting these structures, she can limit the upward trend of the upper lip, thereby reducing the amount of gum tissue visible when you smile.
One of the many advantages of lip repositioning is its ability to achieve immediate results. Following the procedure, you’ll notice a significant improvement in the balance and proportion of your smile, with less gum display and more emphasis on your teeth. The outcome is a more confident and radiant smile that enhances your overall facial aesthetics.
Aftercare is an essential aspect of the lip repositioning process. Dr. Ghayoumi will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your gums and lips post-procedure. It is crucial to follow these guidelines diligently to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.

Outcomes are visible right after the surgery with a more symmetrical smile and reduced gum exposure.

Lip repositioning focuses on adjusting soft tissues to reduce gum exposure without major dental surgery.

Lip repositioning is a fast and effective treatment with minimal recovery time, so it’s perfect for busy residents.
Lip repositioning could be the perfect solution for those in Orange County seeking treatment to help achieve a more balanced smile. A “gummy smile,” when exposed to a large portion of the gums can affect confidence and appearance.
