Gummy Smile Treatment

Gummy smile occurs when the gums appear to droop over the teeth. The first step toward treating a gummy smile is to identify the cause. It also depends on the severity of the problem. A few common treatments are as follows:

• Lip repositioning: If your lips are the problem, they can be adjusted to reveal less of your gums.
• Laser treatment: This is a common option for patients when the gum tissue is the problem.
• Braces: The appearance of a gummy smile can be reduced by realigning your teeth.
• Surgery: The gums and the bones to which they attach can be sculpted to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile.

If a gummy smile is affecting your self-esteem or you are concerned about the health of your gums, you can find the perfect way by talking with our dentists!
