Gummy Smile

A gummy smile occurs when too much gum tissue is seen above the top teeth when you smile. It won't hurt you medically, but it can hurt your confidence and the way your face looks overall. There are many things that might cause this condition, such as moving the upper lip too much, having short upper lips, having gum tissues that are too big, or having teeth that come in at the wrong time.
There are many ways that modern dentistry can help with a gummy grin, depending on what caused it and how bad it is. Botox injections that make the upper lip move less are one nonsurgical option. In more serious cases, surgery may be needed to prolong the crown, straighten the teeth, or move the lips. Another popular and minimally invasive cosmetic treatment is laser gum contouring.
A cosmetic dentist must do a personalised evaluation to determine the best course of action. With the right care, patients can have a confident and attractive smile. Thanks to advances in dental aesthetics, it's now easier than ever to fix a gummy smile in a way that is both effective and comfortable.
