Malvern’s No.1 Gummy Smile Treatment Experts

A beautiful smile sparks joy and has the power to instantly create a human connection with those around us. However, for some of us, this experience can be dampened due to a condition known by laymen as a gummy smile. 

As the name suggests, this condition is when your smile reveals a larger part of your gums than is ideal for a perfect smile. In medical terms, this condition is called excessive gingival display. 

While what you consider a gummy smile is more a matter of personal aesthetic sense than a common rule, generally, a smile that reveals more than 2 millimeters of the gum area is considered as a gummy smile. However, it is a fairly common condition and a gummy smile treatment is not as difficult or expensive as you’d think.

How can a Gummy Smile be Treated?

The main reason why a smile appears gummy is that the upper teeth appear short due to excessive gum tissue. Hence, the most straightforward treatment option for a gummy smile is to eliminate the excessive gum tissue and display the proper length of the upper row of teeth.

At Malvern Smile Studio, our dental experts use advanced orthodontic technology to remove excess gum tissue delicately, in order to provide a better balance and symmetry between teeth and gums. Other treatment options include lip repositioning (surgically removing a section of the gum tissue under the upper lip and then getting them stitched, resulting in a shorter lip that covers the gums), teeth scaling, crowns or veneers, and even invisible aligners.

To determine the cause of your gummy smile and the best course of treatment, we recommend visiting our dental clinic in Malvern and getting a consultation with our experts. 

At Malvern Smile Studio, we pride ourselves on providing highly safe and professional treatment options including the best invisible aligners, hassle-free surgical procedures, and so on, to cure your gummy smile.
