Fixing Gummy Smile

Gummy Smile in Palm Springs, CA

If your smile shows off more of your gums than it does your teeth, you may be experiencing a phenomenon known as a “gummy smile.” For some individuals, the teeth never grew far enough from the gums. In other cases, a patient simply has an abundance of gum tissue. Gummy smile can also be caused by how the lips interact with the jawbone. The Tahquitz Dental Group can diagnose the cause and improve the look of your gummy smile.

Techniques for Fixing Gummy Smile

  • Crown lengthening removes and reshapes the gum tissue around your teeth.
  • Veneers can augment your teeth, making them appear larger. This is especially helpful where the teeth are worn down from use.
  • Surgical or orthodontic procedures can repair problems with the lips or the jawbone.
