Transform Your Smile with Gummy Smile Treatment at Advanced Dental Implant and TMJ Center
Are you self-conscious about a gummy smile? Do you feel that your teeth appear too short or your gums overshadow your beautiful smile? At the Advanced Dental Implant and TMJ Center, we specialize in gummy smile treatment, offering you a chance to achieve the smile you’ve always desired.
What is a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile, also known as excessive gingival display, occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth when smiling. This can create an uneven or disproportionate appearance, making the teeth seem shorter than they actually are. While a gummy smile is typically harmless from a health perspective, it can impact a person’s confidence and willingness to smile.
Causes of a Gummy Smile
There are several factors that can contribute to the development of a gummy smile:
- Excessive Gum Tissue: Sometimes, the gums simply cover more of the teeth than normal, making them appear shorter.
- Hyperactive Upper Lip: If the upper lip is hyperactive, it may rise too high when smiling, revealing more of the gum line.
- Abnormal Tooth Eruption: Teeth that have not erupted fully or are naturally shorter can cause more gum to show.
- Jaw Development Issues: A vertical overgrowth of the upper jaw can also result in a gummy smile.

Gummy Smile Treatment Options
At Advanced Dental Implant and TMJ Center, we offer a range of gummy smile treatment options to help you achieve a balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile:
- Laser Gum Contouring: This minimally invasive procedure uses a dental laser to remove excess gum tissue and reshape the gum line. The laser also seals blood vessels as it works, reducing the risk of bleeding and speeding up recovery time.
- Crown Lengthening: In cases where more extensive gum tissue needs to be removed, crown lengthening can be performed. This involves removing gum tissue and, in some cases, bone to expose more of the tooth’s surface. This procedure is ideal for patients with uneven gum lines or teeth that appear too short.
- Botox Injections: For those with a gummy smile caused by a hyperactive upper lip, Botox injections can help. By relaxing the muscles in the upper lip, Botox prevents the lip from rising too high when smiling, reducing the amount of gum that is visible.
- Orthodontic Treatment: Braces or Invisalign may be recommended if the gummy smile is caused by abnormal tooth or jaw positioning. This option can correct the underlying issue and create a more even smile.
- Surgical Jaw Correction: In more severe cases where the gummy smile is due to a skeletal issue, orthognathic surgery (jaw surgery) might be necessary. This procedure repositions the upper jaw to reduce the amount of gum exposure.
Benefits of Gummy Smile Treatment
Undergoing gummy smile treatment can have a significant impact on both your appearance and self-esteem. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Enhanced Smile Aesthetics: The most immediate benefit of gummy smile treatment is a more balanced, attractive smile. By reducing the gum tissue or correcting the underlying cause, your teeth will appear longer and more proportionate.
- Boosted Confidence: Many patients feel self-conscious about their gummy smiles and may avoid smiling or speaking in public. After treatment, you’ll likely feel more confident and comfortable showing off your smile.
- Improved Oral Health: Certain gummy smile treatments, such as crown lengthening, can also improve your oral health by making it easier to clean around the teeth and gums, reducing the risk of gum disease.
- Personalized Care: At Advanced Dental Implant and TMJ Center, every gummy smile treatment plan is tailored to the individual. We consider the cause of your gummy smile, your dental health, and your aesthetic goals to create the most effective treatment plan for you.
