Gummy smile correction

Address excessive gum display when smiling with a plan tailored to cause—gum, tooth, or muscle factors.

Gummy smile correction

Overview

A gummy smile can result from gum overgrowth, tooth eruption patterns, lip position, or a combination. Treatment might include crown lengthening, gum contouring, orthodontics, or restorative work—not every case needs surgery. We assess before recommending a path.
