Gummy smile smile correction

GUMMY SMILE – EXCESSIVELY VISIBLE GINGIVA

If your gums are too visible and the aesthetics of your smile are compromised, we can solve this with relaxation of the lip elevator muscles.

A problem that we often encounter in patients’ mouths is the so-called “gummy smile” (gingival smile), where the teeth of the upper jaw are visible but also a large part of the gums, i.e. too much gum is visible.

Gummy smile

Gummy smile can be solved in several ways:

1. By relaxing the lip elevator muscles, the lip will no longer lift so high after a few days.

2. Sometimes with a gummy smile it is necessary to slightly lift the gingiva above the teeth, i.e. lengthen the teeth, which we perform with a small amount of anesthetic using an electrocautery or laser. After a few days, it is no longer visible that anything has been done.

3. There is also a gummy smile where the teeth are very short and small, so they need to be enlarged, and in such cases we use a surgical method where the clinical crown of the tooth is lengthened.

Gummy smile correction is fast, painless and the results are very successful. At the Dental Estetic Studio dental clinic in the center of Zagreb, all three methods are performed.

Gummy smile procedures at our dental clinic are performed by professional staff with top-level and many years of experience. The goal we strive to achieve is certainly a beautiful and natural smile to the satisfaction of both us and our patients.
