What is a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile, medically known as excessive gingival display, occurs when an unusually large amount of gum tissue is visible above the top teeth during smiling. It’s not just a cosmetic issue; it can sometimes indicate other dental concerns.

Causes of a Gummy Smile

The genesis of a gummy smile can vary, often involving one or more of the following factors:

• Genetic Predisposition: Some individuals are naturally inclined to have more visible gum tissue.
• Hyperactive Upper Lip: An overly active upper lip can rise higher than average, revealing more gum tissue.
• Abnormal Dental Eruption: Teeth that haven’t emerged properly can seem shorter, thereby exaggerating the gum line’s prominence.
• Excessive Gum Tissue: In some cases, there’s simply more gum tissue present, or the gums may appear enlarged due to inflammation or other conditions.

Comprehensive Gummy Smile Treatments at Genesis Dentists

In-Depth Consultation and Diagnosis: We begin with a meticulous examination, using advanced imaging techniques to determine the underlying cause of your gummy smile.

Tailored Treatment Options: Our treatment strategies are as unique as you are, potentially including:

• Gum Reshaping and Contouring: This procedure involves sculpting the gum line to expose more of your natural teeth, thereby improving the proportionality of your smile. This can Also be done with lasers
• Orthodontic Solutions: Misalignment can contribute to a gummy smile. We offer braces or clear aligners to correct alignment issues.
• Botox Therapy: For those with hyperactive lip muscles, Botox injections can provide a temporary but effective solution by reducing the elevation of the upper lip.
• Surgical Techniques: In more complex cases, surgical interventions such as crown lengthening or lip repositioning might be recommended.

Advantages of Gummy Smile Treatment

Aesthetic Enhancement: Addressing this can dramatically improve your smile’s aesthetics, bringing balance and harmony to your facial features.
