Gummy Smile Treatment
At Lavanya Aesthetics, Dr. Goyal offers advanced treatments to correct a gummy smile — a condition where too much of your gums show when you smile. This can make people feel self-conscious, even if their teeth are healthy and well-aligned.
A gummy smile can be caused by several factors, including:
- Excessive gum tissue
- Short upper lip
- Small or worn-down teeth
- Abnormal jaw growth
What is Gummy Smile Correction?
Gummy smile correction is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce excessive gum visibility when you smile. This condition can be caused by factors such as genetics, an overactive upper lip, or teeth that haven’t fully erupted.
The treatment involves techniques to remove or reshape the extra gum tissue, helping to expose more of the natural teeth. This results in a more even, attractive smile. Depending on the cause, options may include laser gum contouring, Botox, or minor surgical procedures.
Why Does a Gummy Smile Happen?
Understanding the root cause is key to choosing the right treatment. Some common causes include:
Genetics – Inherited facial features like jaw shape or tooth size
Short Teeth – Either naturally small or covered by gum tissue
Hyperactive Upper Lip – Lip rises too high while smiling
Jaw Development Issues – Excess growth of the upper jaw (Vertical Maxillary Excess)
Gum Overgrowth – Caused by inflammation, poor hygiene, or medication
Mouth Breathing Habit – Chronic habits can affect gum health and structure
