Gummy Smile

Brighten Everyone's Day with a Beautiful, Confident Smile

A gummy smile happens when the upper lip lifts higher than you want it to, exposing more of the gumline than feels natural. It can be structural, muscular, or simply the way your features developed over time. While it is common and nothing to be ashamed of, many people feel that a gummy smile pulls focus away from their teeth and the natural balance of their face. The good news is that it can be softened with a simple, well-placed treatment that allows your smile to feel more in proportion.

Subtle Corrections That Let Your Smile Shine

We treat gummy smiles by gently reducing the overactive pull of the upper lip. This creates a smoother transition between the lip and gumline when you smile, without affecting your natural expressions. The treatment is quick, precise, and designed to relax just enough movement to bring balance back to your smile. Most people notice results within days and feel more confident in photos, conversation, and everyday expressions.
