Gummy Smile

Gummy Smile Correction: A Brighter, More Balanced Smile

A gummy smile, characterized by excessive gum tissue exposure when smiling, can affect your self-confidence. At My Neighbourhood Dentist in Marathahalli, we offer effective solutions to correct gummy smiles and enhance your overall appearance.

Understanding Gummy Smiles

A gummy smile can be caused by various factors, including:

  • Hyperactive Upper Lip: An overly active upper lip muscle can pull the lip up excessively, exposing more gum tissue.
  • Excessive Gum Tissue: In some cases, excess gum tissue can cover more of the teeth than is considered aesthetically pleasing.
  • Short Teeth: Shorter teeth can make the gums appear more prominent.

Treatment Options for Gummy Smiles

Our experienced dentists offer a variety of treatment options to correct gummy smiles, including:

  1. Botox Injections: Botox injections can relax the muscles that pull the upper lip, reducing the amount of gum tissue exposed when smiling.
  2. Gum Contouring: This procedure involves removing excess gum tissue to expose more of the teeth. It can be performed using a laser or a scalpel.
  3. Orthodontic Treatment: In some cases, orthodontic treatment, such as braces or Invisalign, can help to reposition the teeth and reduce the appearance of a gummy smile.
  4. Combination Therapy: Often, a combination of treatments is necessary to achieve optimal results.

Benefits of Gummy Smile Correction

  • Improved Aesthetics: A more balanced and attractive smile.
  • Boosted Self-Confidence: Increased self-esteem and confidence.
  • Enhanced Facial Harmony: A more harmonious facial appearance.
  • Long-lasting Results: With proper care, the results of gummy smile correction can last for many years.
