Gummy Smile

Cosmetic solutions for a gummy smile to make you relax and smile more

Some people's smiles look unattractive because of the excessive amounts of gum that is shown above the top teeth when smiling. This condition can lead to people feeling very self-conscious about their smile and a tendency to avoid smiling naturally on photographs.

Treatment alternatives involve gum contouring or gum lift, orthodontics or using pink porcelain. Gum contouring (gum lift) is a technique that involves removal of excessive gum to create the correct length to width ratio of the teeth and re-establish the correct smile line, with the top lip resting at or near the gum margin of the teeth when you smile.
