Confident Smiles Start with Balance

A gummy smile, where a large portion of gum is visible when smiling, is a common concern for many people. It may be caused by factors such as excessive gum tissue, a short upper lip, or overactive muscles around the mouth. At Medical & Dental, our experienced dentists offer tailored treatments to help create a more balanced and confident smile. Whether you're looking for a subtle enhancement or more noticeable results, we’ll guide you through the most suitable options.

What Causes a Gummy Smile?

Common reasons include:

• Excess gum tissue covering the teeth
• Small or worn-down teeth
• Hyperactive upper lip muscles
• Jaw development issues (vertical maxillary excess)

Available Treatment Options

Following a full clinical assessment, we may recommend one or more of the following:

• Gum contouring to reshape excessive gum tissue
• Botulinum toxin (Botox) to reduce lip movement when smiling
• Restorative treatments such as veneers or crowns to improve tooth proportions
• Referral to a specialist if surgical options are appropriate

Your dentist will explain each option clearly, helping you make an informed decision about your smile.
