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
