Gummy Smile Information

A gummy smile exists when a patient smiles and shows an excessive amount of gums in their smile. A gummy smile may be a result of a hyperactive upper lip, overdeveloped upper jaw, or altered passive eruption of the teeth. A gummy smile depending on its diagnosis can be treated by combinations of tooth crown lengthening and veneer work.
