A gummy smile — when a large amount of gum shows above your teeth — can have several causes, including excess gum tissue, a short or hyperactive upper lip, or teeth that appear short. After identifying the cause, our specialists choose the least invasive effective treatment: laser gum contouring to reshape the gum line, crown lengthening to reveal more tooth, Botox to relax an overactive lip, or surgical lip repositioning for a lasting result. Many treatments are completed in a single visit with minimal downtime. Using digital smile design, we plan precise, symmetrical proportions so your final smile looks natural and harmonious.

Everything you want to know about Gummy Smile Correction
Talk to a CoordinatorLaser contouring and lip repositioning give lasting results; Botox is temporary and is repeated every few months if chosen.
It is done under local anaesthesia and is generally very comfortable, with only mild tenderness for a few days.
This depends on your anatomy; we plan a safe, healthy gum line that improves proportions without harming the teeth.
Laser gum contouring heals within days; surgical lip repositioning may take one to two weeks to settle.
That depends on the cause — your specialist will recommend the least invasive treatment that achieves a lasting result.
