What is Gummy Smile Correction?


Gummy smile correction is a cosmetic dental procedure that is used to address a "gummy smile," which is characterised by excessive gum tissue that is visible when a person smiles. A gummy smile can be caused by a number of factors, including genetics, a hyperactive upper lip muscle, or an abnormal eruption of the teeth.

During the gummy smile correction procedure, a dentist or periodontist will use a variety of techniques to remove or reposition the excess gum tissue, revealing more of the natural tooth structure and creating a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile.

When Should You Go for Gummy Smile Treatment?


The Gummy Smile treatment is specifically for the gums that are overgrown and are covering the teeth, hampering the shape of the teeth and smile. You should go for gummy smile treatment if you are self-conscious about the appearance of your smile due to excessive gum tissue that is visible when you smile. You may also consider gummy smile treatment if the orthodontic treatments fail to correct it and the excessive tissue needs to be managed through a laser, which shapes the teeth by cutting the gums and lengthening the teeth.

Classic Signs Suggestive of Gummy Smile Treatment


Excessive gum tissue

If a significant portion of your gum tissue is visible when you smile, it can make your teeth look small and your smile appear unbalanced.

Uneven gum line

If your gum line is uneven, it can make your teeth appear asymmetrical and detract from the overall appearance of your smile.

Disproportionate teeth-to-gum ratio

If your teeth look small compared to the amount of gum tissue that is visible when you smile, it can make your smile appear "gummy" and detract from the overall esthetics of your smile.

Self-consciousness

If you feel self-conscious or unhappy with the appearance of your smile, it may be worth considering gummy smile treatment to improve your confidence and self-esteem.

Procedure for Gummy Smile Treatment


The first step is to schedule a consultation with a dentist or periodontist who specialises in gummy smile treatment. During this visit, you will discuss your goals for your smile, and your dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs.<

  • Treatment plan: If gummy smile treatment is recommended, your dentist will create a treatment plan that outlines the specific procedures involved and the cost of the treatment. At this point, you can ask any questions you have about the process.
  • Gum contouring: This is a common procedure for gummy smile treatment, and involves removing or reshaping the gum tissue to create a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile. Your dentist will use a laser or scalpel to carefully remove excess gum tissue and contour the gum line to reveal more of the natural tooth structure.
  • Orthodontics: In some cases, gummy smile treatment may also involve orthodontic treatment to correct the position of the teeth and jaw. This may include braces or clear aligners, which can help bring the teeth into the proper position and improve the overall balance of the smile.
  • Final adjustments: After the gummy smile treatment is complete, your dentist will make any final adjustments necessary to ensure that your smile looks natural and aesthetically pleasing.

FAQs

Have questions? We have the answers

A gummy smile is a condition where a person shows an excessive amount of gum tissue when they smile, which can make the teeth look smaller and less prominent.

There are several potential causes of a gummy smile, including genetic factors, excessive gum tissue growth, an overactive upper lip muscle, and jaw bone abnormalities

Treatment options for a gummy smile depend on the underlying cause but may include gum contouring surgery, orthodontic treatment, lip repositioning surgery, or Botox injections. The best treatment for your gummy smile will depend on the severity and underlying cause of the condition.

The level of discomfort associated with gummy smile treatment will depend on the specific procedure being performed. Gum contouring surgery, for example, may cause some discomfort during and after the procedure, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications
