Causes of Gummy Smiles

Excessive Gum Tissue

Some individuals naturally have more gum tissue than average, leading to a gummy appearance.

Dental Issues

Problems such as misaligned teeth or an improper bite can also contribute to a gummy smile.

Genetics

Inherited traits may cause you to display more gum tissue when smiling.

Hyperactive Lip Muscles

Overactive muscles can pull the lip upward excessively when smiling, revealing more gum tissue.

How We Treat Gummy Smiles

We offer several effective treatment options for gummy smiles, including

Gum Contouring+

Also known as gingivectomy, this procedure involves reshaping and removing excess gum tissue to expose more of the teeth. This can dramatically enhance the smile's appearance. It's usually performed under local anesthesia and can be done in a single visit.

Botox Injections+

If a hyperactive lip is the cause of your gummy smile, Botox can help by temporarily relaxing the muscles around the lips. This lowers the lip position when you smile, reducing the amount of gum visible.

Orthodontics+

If dental alignment is contributing to your gummy smile, braces or clear aligners can be recommended. Correcting the position of your teeth can improve the overall look of your smile.

Crown Lengthening+

This procedure involves reshaping the gums and bone to expose more of the tooth structure. It can be particularly beneficial if your gums are covering too much of your teeth.

How to Prepare for Your Treatment

Before your gummy smile treatment, here’s what to expect

Consultation+

Schedule a consultation to discuss your concerns, medical history, and treatment options. We’ll perform a thorough examination to determine the best approach for you.

Pre-Treatment Instructions+

Depending on the chosen procedure, you may receive specific instructions, such as avoiding certain medications or foods before your treatment.

Discuss Expectations+

It’s essential to communicate your goals for your smile so we can align your expectations with the potential results of the treatment.
