How To Fix A Gummy Smile

How to fix a gummy smile

As periodontists, we often hear our patients say they do not like the look of their gummy smile. If you are self-conscious about your gummy smile, there is no reason to be embarrassed. You have come to the right place - we can help you achieve the smile you have always wanted with our cosmetic dentistry treatments.

What causes a gummy smile?

In clinical terms, a gummy smile is known as excessive gingival display. A gummy smile is typically genetically inherited and characterized by excess gum tissue growing over the front surface of the teeth. The excess gum tissue makes the teeth appear too small and the smile less aesthetically pleasing.

How to fix a gummy smile?

Having a gummy smile is not something you have to live with forever. We provide a treatment called gingivectomy (gummy smile surgery), which removes the excess gum tissue and reveals a more beautiful smile.

During the gingivectomy procedure, we completely numb the affected area and precisely remove the excess gum tissue. Removing the excess gum tissue elongates the appearance of the teeth and creates a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
