Gummy Smile

Want to fix a gummy smile?

A gummy smile isn’t always a health concern, but many of our patients find them aesthetically displeasing. Thankfully, fixing a gummy smile is possible! At Iranis Dentalz, we offer Botox as an effective solution for gummy smiles. This modern procedure relaxes facial muscles and lets your upper lip rest easily over your gum tissue.
Depending on your situation, alternative gummy smile reduction treatments may include veneers, dental crowns, or Invisalign.
We’d love to evaluate your situation and put together a personalized treatment plan to perfectly balance the appearance of your teeth, gums, and lips.

What is a gummy smile?

A smile is considered “gummy” when it shows an excess of gingival tissue (3 mm or more). This cosmetic concern is more common among women than men, especially those in their 20s and 30s. Often a gummy smile is the result of your unique genetics.
Other factors may also be at play, including:

  •  Abnormal tooth eruption
  •  Improper bite
  •  Muscular issues
  •  Hyperactive upper lip

That’s what we’re here for. Give us a call at +917600936272 and we’ll evaluate your situation and make the best recommendation for you.

FAQ

If you have a gummy smile, talk with your dentist. As long as there isn’t a medical reason to fix a gummy smile, you should never feel pressured to change the appearance of your smile. We want you to feel confident about your smile — whatever that means for you, we’re here to offer support.

A gummy smile will not improve on its own.

A gummy smile isn’t always a health concern and thus is not always necessary to fix. Often those with a gummy smile face issues like inflamed and painful gums, as well as gum disease and bad breath. Talk to your dentist about whether or not your gummy smile is putting your dental health at risk.
