Gummy Smile Treatment

Achieve a balanced, confident smile

A gummy smile (excessive gingival display) occurs when a significant amount of gum tissue shows above the top teeth when smiling. At Extreme Dentistry, we offer professional treatments to create a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile.

What Causes a Gummy Smile?

• Excess gum tissue covering more of the teeth than normal
• Small teeth or teeth that appear short due to gum overgrowth
• Hyperactive upper lip muscles
• Abnormal dental eruption
• Upper jaw bone overdevelopment

Treatment Options

• Crown lengthening: Reshaping gum tissue to expose more of the tooth
• Lip repositioning: Limiting how far up your lip moves when smiling
• Orthodontics: Moving teeth into a better position
• Veneers or crowns: Making teeth appear longer and more proportional
