Gummy Smile
What is Gummy Smile?
An individual having a gummy smile or excessive gingival display is when their gum line shows more than it actually should. There could be different reasons for a gummy smile, including short upper lip, issues in proper jaw development, or disproportionate teeth. Individuals having a gummy smile may find it a hindrance to their appearance. They may feel embarrassed and insecure when smiling in front of others.
What are the Causes of Gummy Smile?
Gummy smiles can develop for different reasons. Here are the main causes of a gummy smile:
01
Disproportionate Teeth
Improper eruption causes the teeth to stay partially covered by the gum tissue. It is one of the main reasons to why people may have a gummy smile. Even though their teeth may be at their regular length, it causes their teeth to look shorter than they actually are.
02
Short Upper Lip
Individuals with a short upper lip also have their gums exposed more than they actually should.
03
Small Teeth
Those with smaller teeth also face the problem of gummy smiles. The cause of small teeth may either be because of genetics or because of wear.
04
Hyperactive Upper Lip
The muscle of the upper lip in some individuals is hyperactive and causes the lip to lift higher than it actually should. This tends to expose the gums excessively.
05
Gingival Hypertrophy
This condition causes the gingival tissues to overgrow, causing the gums to loo enlarged. There could be different reasons for this condition, including hereditary, medicines, inflammation, or others. Gingival hypertrophy is also referred to as gingival hyperplasia.
06
Bulging Gums
For several people, the gum tissue tends to develop a protruding bulge causing them to suffer from a gummy smile. Bulging gums are referred to as vertical maxillary excess in medical terms.
Types of Treatment Offered for Gummy Smile
Depending on your condition and after a detailed consultation session with one of our dentist’s you will be suggested one of the treatments as below:
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are usually suggested to individuals suffering from gummy smiles because of disproportionate teeth. Veneers allow fixing the shape and size of the teeth. This helps to reduce the excess visibility of the gums.
Braces or Invisalign
Our dentists often suggest using braces or Invisalign to patients suffering from gummy smiles, wherein the cause is improperly arranged teeth. Fixing the position of the teeth can drastically help in reducing the exposed gums and allow you to have a beautiful smile.
Gum Recontouring
Gum recontouring is a procedure where our experienced dentists remove the excess gums to reveal more of your teeth. Exposing your teeth creates a proportion between the gums and teeth. Once the procedure is complete, you can have an aesthetically beautiful smile.
Process of Gum Recontouring
Traditionally gum recontouring is performed with the help of a blade or scalpel. The dentists cut off the excessive gums in small parts to fix the gummy smile. However, this tends to cause bleeding, discomfort, pain and the recovery period is long. This is why at Smile Crew, we use a laser to perform gum recontouring on our patients. Our dentists use an extremely advanced laser to perform gum recontouring. Laser allows precise cuts on the gums, where required. The healing process is extremely quick, and there is almost no scarring post the treatment.
