A 'gummy' smile (more gum on display than feels balanced) has several possible causes: the gum sitting low on the teeth, a hyperactive lip, or the way the jaw grew. The right fix depends entirely on which one it is.
When the gum itself is the cause, gum contouring (often laser-assisted) reshapes the gumline to reveal more tooth, frequently in a single visit. When it isn't, honest dentists will say so and point at the actual cause.
The honest limits of this preview
Visual simulation of an aesthetic gum outcome. A preview can't see bone, bite, gum health or anything beneath the surface. Only a clinical exam can. Treat it as a conversation starter for your dentist, never as a promised result.
Worth asking your dentist
- What's causing my gummy smile (gum, lip, or jaw), and does contouring address it?
- How much tooth can safely be revealed on my teeth?
- Will the gum stay where it's placed, or can it rebound?
