Cosmetic Dentistry for a Gummy Smile
A gummy smile — where excess gum tissue makes teeth appear short — is easily corrected with cosmetic dentistry. The results can be dramatic and immediate.
What Causes a Gummy Smile
A gummy smile can result from excess gum tissue, a short upper lip, or how the lip moves when you smile. Identifying the cause determines the most effective treatment.
Gum Contouring Treatment
Gentle gum contouring reshapes the gumline to reveal more of your natural teeth, creating balanced proportions. The procedure is quick, comfortable, and the results are visible immediately.
Combining Treatments
Gum contouring often pairs with veneers or whitening for a complete smile makeover. Maitland patients are amazed how much a refined gumline transforms their entire smile.
