Gummy Smile? Why the Cause Changes the Treatment

Transcript accompanies the approved October 15, 2026 edition.

Can I tell you a secret? There's no single fix because every gummy smile has a different cause. That's why in our Forma consult, we'll start by pinpointing the exact source of your gummy smile before recommending any treatment. If your gum tissue is just too thick and covering up your teeth, a quick gingivectomy shapes the gum line to reveal your full natural smile. If there's too much underlying bone structure, crown lengthening gently reshapes both the bone and the tissue for a balanced look. And if your upper lip simply pulls up too high, we can use lip repositioning or even non-surgical options like Botox. Ready to find your ideal fit? Book your Forma consult today.
