A “gummy smile” refers to the appearance of more gum tissue when smiling. This can occur for a range of reasons, including gum position, tooth size, lip movement, or jaw structure.
Because there are different underlying causes, a clinical assessment is important before discussing any treatment options. Depending on the diagnosis, management approaches may include orthodontic treatment, restorative procedures, or other dental interventions. The appropriate option will vary based on individual oral health and anatomical factors.
A consultation allows your dentist to assess your smile, explain potential causes, and discuss suitable options along with their benefits, limitations, and risks.
