Gummy Smile Treatment

A More Confident Smile—One Subtle Adjustment Away

If you feel like your gums show more than your teeth when you smile—or your upper lip lifts a little too high—you may be dealing with what’s commonly called a gummy smile. And while it’s totally natural, it can make people feel self-conscious about otherwise healthy teeth.

At Smile, Co., we offer modern gummy smile treatment options tailored to the cause of your excess gum exposure. Whether it’s your lip, gums, or underlying bone structure, we create a comfortable, personalized solution to bring your smile into harmony.

What Causes a Gummy Smile?

Several factors can lead to a gummy smile, including:

• Excess gum tissue over the teeth
  
• A short or hyperactive upper lip
  
• Teeth that appear too short due to delayed eruption
  
• Overgrowth of the upper jawbone
  

Our team will determine the cause of your gummy smile during a consultation and recommend the most effective treatment—whether cosmetic or functional.

Treatment Options at Smile Co.

We take a conservative, minimally invasive approach and only recommend what’s truly necessary for beautiful, natural-looking results. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include:

• Laser Gum Contouring: Gently reshapes the gumline for a more proportionate tooth-to-gum ratio.
  
• Botox for Lip Control: Temporarily relaxes a hyperactive upper lip to limit how much it rises when you smile.
  
• Crown Lengthening or Veneers: When needed, we can combine treatments like porcelain veneers or restorative crowns to create the perfect smile line.
  

We’ll walk you through every step of your personalized treatment plan and focus on achieving a result that looks balanced—not overdone.

Quick, Comfortable, and Customized

Most gummy smile procedures are performed in a single appointment with minimal discomfort. For more involved cases, we may use sedation dentistry to ensure a relaxed, pain-free experience.

Results are often immediate and long-lasting—and many patients are surprised by how much of a difference a small adjustment can make.
