Gummy Smile
A gummy smile is a cosmetic condition in which too much gum tissue is visible when smiling. Targeted gummy smile treatment can improve the balance between the teeth, gums, and lips. The result is a harmonious smile with a natural appearance and increased self-confidence.
Advantages of a Gummy Smile treatment
- Aesthetic smile: Less visible gums and harmonious teeth
- Natural appearance: Adaptation to lip shape and tooth proportions
- Minimally invasive: Many methods without extensive surgery
- Quick results: Visible improvement often after just one session
- Customizable: Treatment tailored to the cause of the gummy smile
