  1. Smile with Confidence: Professional Care for Excessive Gum Display WEBSITE www.mtpleasantdentist.com

  2. A confident smile is one of the first things people notice, but for many individuals, feeling self-conscious about their gums can hold them back. An excessive amount of gum tissue visible above the top teeth is referred to as a "gummy smile. While it isn’t usually a health issue, it can make some people feel embarrassed, shy, or less confident in their appearance. At Mt Pleasant Dentist, we help patients address gummy smiles with modern, comfortable, and effective treatments designed to enhance both function and aesthetics. If you’ve been hesitant to show your smile, we want you to know there are solutions available.

  3. What Causes a Gummy Smile? There are a number of reasons why more gum tissue may appear: Genetics – Some people naturally have shorter teeth or more gum coverage. Tooth eruption – In certain cases, teeth may not emerge fully, leaving more gum exposed. Lip movement – A hyperactive upper lip can rise higher than average when smiling, revealing more gum. Jaw development – An overgrown upper jaw can also make gums more visible.

  4. Why Consider Treatment? Even though havingagummysmile is harmless, manypeople decide to get treatment for aesthetic purposes. Addressing this condition can: Improve smile aesthetics Boost confidence and self-esteem Create balance between teeth and gums Make the smile look healthier and more proportional At Mt Pleasant Dentist, we believe that everyone deserves to feel comfortable and happy with their smile.

  5. Treatment Options for a Gummy Smile Thanks to modern dentistry, there are several safe and effective solutions: Gum Contouring (Gingivectomy) Using advanced laser technology or traditional methods, we can gently reshape excess gum tissue. As a result, your gum line becomes more symmetrical and more of your natural tooth structure is visible. Crown Lengthening For patients with teeth that appear too short, crown lengthening not only removes excess gum but may also adjust the underlying bone structure. This option is often recommended when more extensive reshaping is needed. Botox for Gummy Smiles A minimally invasive approach, Botox injections can help relax the upper lip muscles, reducing the amount of gum that shows when smiling. The results are temporary but highly effective for many patients. Orthodontics In cases where jaw alignment plays a role, orthodontic treatment can reposition teeth and jaws for a more harmonious smile. Surgical Options For severe cases related to jaw development, corrective jaw surgery may be considered. This option is less common but can provide long-term results.
