What Is a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile is a cosmetic condition where more gum tissue than normal is visible when you smile. This can be caused by:
- Excess gum tissue covering the teeth
- Short or worn teeth
- High lip mobility when smiling
- Genetics or natural growth patterns
- Abnormal tooth eruption
- Excess bone around the teeth
Although a gummy smile is usually not harmful, many patients feel it affects the attractiveness of their smile. Gummy smile treatment can create a more refined, proportional, and youthful appearance.
Why You Might Need Gummy Smile Treatment
When too much gum tissue is visible, your teeth may look:
- Short or square
- Uneven in height
- Hidden beneath excess tissue
- Less bright or less defined
This can impact confidence, speech, and how you feel about smiling. Treatment helps:
- Improve smile symmetry
- Enhance tooth shape and visibility
- Increase confidence in social settings
- Provide a more harmonious balance between lips, teeth, and gums
Gummy smile treatment is a fast, comfortable way to dramatically improve smile aesthetics.
Our Gummy Smile Treatment Options
We tailor every treatment to the cause of your gummy smile, ensuring the results look natural and balanced.
1. Gum Contouring (Gingival Recontouring)
This is the most common procedure. Using precise techniques, we remove excess gum tissue and reshape the gumline to expose more of your natural tooth structure. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and offers instant cosmetic improvement.
2. Crown Lengthening
If the teeth appear short because gum or bone tissue is too high, crown lengthening helps expose more of the natural tooth. It creates an ideal foundation for a balanced smile and can also support future cosmetic work such as veneers or crowns.
3. Treatment of Excess Eruption or Gum Overgrowth
For patients with enlarged gums or naturally excessive gum display, we reshape and lift the gums to create a cleaner, more uniform look.
4. Smile Design Assessment
Your lip line, tooth structure, gum levels, and facial proportions are analyzed to determine the best cosmetic improvement for long-term esthetics.
