What Is a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile refers to a condition where an excess amount of gum tissue is visible when you smile, which can make your teeth appear shorter and out of proportion. While this is a common aesthetic concern, it’s often caused by a variety of factors, such as genetics, gum overgrowth, or an issue with the way the teeth erupt. The good news is that gummy smile correction is a highly effective procedure that can bring your smile into perfect harmony.

Causes of Gummy Smiles

Gummy smiles can be caused by several factors:
  • Excessive Gum Tissue:
    Sometimes, the gums naturally cover more of the teeth than desired.
  • Teeth That Are Too Short:
    Teeth that haven’t fully erupted or are naturally shorter can cause the gums to appear more prominent.
  • Overactive Upper Lip:
    In some cases, an overactive lip muscle can cause the lip to rise too high when smiling, showing excess gum.
  • Abnormal Jaw Development:
    A misalignment of the jaw can cause the gums to protrude more than usual.
Understanding the underlying cause is key to providing the most effective treatment, which is why our experts will conduct a thorough evaluation during your consultation.

Gummy Smile Treatment Options

At Royal Villanova, we offer a range of treatments to correct a gummy smile, depending on the underlying cause:
  • Gum Contouring (Gingivectomy):
    This procedure involves removing excess gum tissue to reveal more of the teeth, creating a more proportionate smile.
  • Laser Gum Reshaping:
    Using advanced laser technology, we can gently reshape the gums, offering a less invasive and more precise solution with quicker recovery.
  • Orthodontics:
    In cases where the teeth are not properly aligned, braces or clear aligners can be used to reposition the teeth, minimizing gum exposure.
  • Botox for Lip Lift:
    If the cause is an overactive upper lip, Botox injections can temporarily relax the muscle and prevent it from lifting too high.
Each treatment is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring the best possible result.
