Solutions for Enhancing Your Smile

A smile is considered a "gummy smile" if a significant amount of gingival tissue (gums) can be seen as a person smiles.

A gummy smile is a term used to describe a smile in which a significant portion of the gums is visible when a person smiles. While a certain amount of gum exposure is normal, an excessive display of gum tissue can make some individuals self-conscious about their appearance.

Fortunately, gummy smile correction procedures are available to address this concern and enhance the aesthetics of the smile. Gummy smile correction typically involves a combination of cosmetic dentistry techniques tailored to the individual’s specific needs.

One common approach is gum contouring or gum reshaping, which involves removing excess gum tissue to expose more of the teeth and create a more balanced smile. This can be done using various methods, including laser technology or traditional surgical techniques.

Another option for gummy smile correction is Botox injections. Botox, a muscle-relaxing agent, can be strategically injected into the upper lip muscles to reduce their activity and limit the extent of gum exposure when smiling.

In some cases, orthodontic treatment may be recommended to correct the alignment of the teeth and jaw, which can contribute to a gummy smile. Orthodontic appliances like braces or clear aligners can gradually move the teeth into the desired position and improve the overall smile aesthetics.

Overall, gummy smile correction procedures can help individuals regain their confidence and achieve a more harmonious smile. It is essential to consult with a qualified dental professional to determine the most suitable treatment options based on the individual’s specific situation.
