Overview
What is Gummy Smile Correction?
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.
Key Highlights
- Cause-specific, least-invasive plan
- Laser gum contouring option
- Botox or lip repositioning available
- Often a single-visit treatment
- Digital smile design planning

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
