About the Treatment
A gummy smile occurs when too much gum tissue is exposed while smiling, which may affect comfort and self-confidence. Aesthetic gum surgery reshapes the gum line to expose more tooth surface, creating balanced and harmonious smile proportions. The treatment may include removal of excess gum tissue, contouring of the underlying bone, or a combination of both. The result is a more balanced and attractive smile.
