Can cosmetic treatments fix a gummy smile?

Yes — several cosmetic dental treatments can improve a “gummy smile,” where excess gum tissue shows when you smile. The right approach depends on the cause and severity of the issue.

🦷 What Causes a Gummy Smile?

  • Excess gum tissue covering teeth
  • Small or worn-down teeth
  • High upper lip or hyperactive lip muscles
  • Jaw alignment issues

✅ Treatment Options

  • Gum contouring: Reshapes gum tissue for a more balanced look
  • Veneers or bonding: Lengthens the appearance of short teeth
  • Botox: Temporarily reduces upper lip movement
  • Orthodontics or surgery: For severe jaw-related gummy smiles

🧠 What to Expect

  • Most treatments are minimally invasive and done in-office
  • We’ll assess your smile and recommend a personalized plan
