What is a gummy smile?

It is when a large portion of the gums (more than 3–4 mm) appears above the teeth when smiling, making the smile look “unbalanced.”

How is it treated?

There are several simple and safe methods, chosen based on your case after examination:

  1. Gum contouring with laser

  • Procedure: Trimming the excess gum and reshaping it with precise laser beams (painless and bloodless).
  • Duration: One session (20–30 minutes).
  1. Orthodontics

  • Procedure: Used if the teeth are hidden under the gums, moving them into their proper position.
  1. Botox injections

  • Procedure: Injecting the upper lip muscle to relax it, reducing gum exposure when smiling.
  1. Jaw surgery

  • Procedure: For severe cases (such as an over-protruding upper jaw).

Benefits of treatment :

  • Improves the appearance of the smile, making it natural and attractive.

  • Boosts self-confidence, especially in social events.

  • Immediate results with techniques like laser.

  • Permanent solution in most cases.

“The treatment plan is determined after a thorough examination, and it’s often quicker and easier than you might expect!”
