What Is a Gummy Smile?
A 'gummy smile,' or excessive gingival display, occurs when a significant portion of gum tissue shows above the upper teeth during a smile—typically more than 2-3 mm. It may result from excessive gum tissue, hyperactive lip muscles, altered tooth eruption, or jaw structure differences. While not a health concern, many patients seek correction for enhanced smile aesthetics and confidence.
Treatment Options Available
Gum Contouring (Gingivectomy): Removes excess soft tissue for brighter tooth appearance—low recovery and effective for mild cases with minimal downtime.\n\nLaser Gum Lift: Faster healing, minimal bleeding, and precise tissue control compared to traditional scalpel methods.\n\nCrown Lengthening: Reshapes both gum and bone for patients with limited visible tooth—essential when substantial tooth exposure is needed.

Our Approach
Our inlay and onlay process combines precision, comfort, and expertise. The procedure typically involves two appointments: first for preparation and impressions, then for final placement. Each step is carefully executed with your comfort and optimal results in mind.
Comprehensive Evaluation
We analyze gum-to-tooth ratio, lip dynamics, tooth structure, and jaw position to determine the primary cause of your gummy smile.
Personalized Plan
Tailored treatment paths—laser reshaping, crown lengthening, orthodontics, or non-surgical options—explained clearly for your best outcome.
Gum Contouring
Laser or precision instruments reshape the gum line, exposing more tooth structure for a natural-looking smile with minimal downtime.
Crown Lengthening
Where bone or tooth structure limits exposure, we recontour tissue and bone so your smile looks balanced and lasting.
Non-Surgical Options
Orthodontics, lip repositioning, or Botox can be effective for some smiles—managing overactive lips or repositioning tissues with minimal intervention.
Aftercare & Follow-Up
We guide you through healing with adjustments, follow-ups, and hygiene tips to ensure lasting results and your comfort.
