What Causes a Gummy Smile?
Sometimes gum lines are uneven or appear too low. Some people have gums that cover part of their teeth, making it appear as if their teeth look too small. This condition can be genetic or is sometimes caused by certain health problems or taking particular prescription medications.

A person can also show too much gum because they have an overactive muscle in their upper lip. When they smile, the muscle moves the upper lip too much, exposing more gum than is desirable. People with this problem will need a different dental surgery treatment to correct the overactive muscle.

Can an Uneven Gum Line Affect My Dental Health?
Usually, gum contouring is a cosmetic dental procedure and will provide any significant benefits to your oral health. Most people choose this procedure because they want to improve their smile, but some people will have this treatment as part of their periodontal care plan. Gum contouring could be necessary if you need other types of gum surgery, including gum regeneration treatments, gum pocket reduction.

What to Do If Your Gums Are Uneven?
If you feel you show too much gum when you smile, one option is to consider gum contouring. Gum contouring is a treatment that can create an even gum line, ensuring you expose exactly the right amount of tooth and giving you a more attractive smile. Our dentists are experienced in gum contouring and can assess your gum line and your gum health to make sure this treatment is appropriate.
