Gummy Smile Treatment

What is a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile, or excessive gingival display, occurs when more gum tissue than usual is visible when smiling. While a normal smile shows up to 2 mm of gums, a gummy smile can make teeth appear smaller and affect self-confidence.

Common Causes of a Gummy Smile

  • Genetics: Hereditary factors influencing gum structure.

  • Dental Structure: Short teeth or excessive gum coverage.

  • Lip Shape: A hyperactive upper lip revealing more gums.

  • Jaw Structure: Vertical maxillary overgrowth or misaligned jaws.

  • Medications: Drugs causing gum overgrowth (hyperplasia).

  • Smoking & Incorrect Brushing: Contributing to gum tissue enlargement.

Benefits of Gummy Smile Treatment

  • Enhances smile aesthetics by balancing the gum-to-teeth ratio.

  • Boosts confidence and self-esteem.

  • Provides a more youthful and symmetrical smile.

Gummy Smile Treatment Options

1. Gingivectomy
This procedure removes excess gum tissue to create a more proportional gum line.

  • Traditional Gingivectomy: Uses a scalpel; may involve minor bone adjustment.

  • Laser Gingivectomy: Offers precision with minimal bleeding and faster healing.

Each session lasts 30–60 minutes, with quick recovery times.

2. Botox
Botox relaxes the upper lip muscles, reducing gum exposure.

  • Procedure: Involves quick, painless injections under local anesthesia.

  • Aftercare: Avoid makeup, alcohol, and steam exposure for 24 hours post-treatment.

3. Orthodontics
Orthodontic solutions, including braces or clear aligners, reposition teeth and jaws for a balanced smile. In severe cases, orthognathic surgery may be recommended.
