Gummy Smile Correction
Confidently achieve the ideal tooth-to-gum ratio. Precise, comfortable cosmetic gum and bone reshaping by Specialist Periodontist Dr. Rafik Dib.
What Makes a Smile “Gummy”?
A cosmetic procedure to balance gums and teeth for a natural, beautiful smile. If too much gum shows when you smile, it can make your teeth look short. Gummy smile correction gently reshapes excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural teeth, creating a balanced, confident smile. It’s a quick procedure with results that can be seen almost instantly.
Common Causes:
Excess Gum Tissue: Teeth are normal size but covered by extra gum.
Altered Eruption: Gums never receded fully, hiding part of the tooth.
Short-Looking Teeth: Teeth appear small compared to visible gum.
What it is: If you feel like your smile shows too much gum, this cosmetic procedure reshapes the gumline to reveal more of your natural teeth.
Benefit: Enhances your smile’s appearance by creating better tooth-to-gum balance.
