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.
