Gummy Smile Treatment
Show More Tooth, Less Gum
If you feel your smile shows too much gum and not enough tooth, gummy smile treatment can reshape your gumline for a more balanced, proportionate appearance. The result is teeth that look longer and a smile that feels more natural.
What Causes a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile can result from excess gum tissue covering your teeth, teeth that appear short due to how they erupted, or the position of your upper jaw. Dr Anand will assess the cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment for your situation.
Crown Lengthening
Excess gum and sometimes bone tissue is carefully removed to expose more of the natural tooth. This creates a more balanced gum-to-tooth ratio.
Combined With Veneers
Gummy smile treatment is often combined with veneers or CEREC crowns for a complete smile transformation — addressing both the gumline and the teeth.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Results vary between individuals. A thorough assessment is required before treatment.
