What Is a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile describes a smile where more upper gum tissue is visible than you would like when smiling or laughing. For some people, it is subtle. For others, it can make the smile feel less balanced.
This concern can happen for different reasons, including stronger upper lip elevation, differences in smile dynamics, or other anatomical factors. That is why an individual assessment is important before treatment planning.
Treatment Goals
The aim is to soften excessive gum display while preserving natural expression. Treatment is designed to refine smile balance rather than make the smile look stiff or overdone.
The focus is on subtle improvement, natural-looking harmony, and results that still feel like you.
