Gummy Smile Treatment
A balanced smile involves more than just healthy teeth, it also depends on the relationship between your teeth, gums, and overall facial appearance. At DeLuca Dental, we provide personalized treatments to help patients achieve a more proportionate and confident smile, including solutions for a gummy smile.
A gummy smile occurs when excess gum tissue covers a larger portion of the teeth, making the gums appear more prominent when smiling. This may be caused by genetics, tooth eruption patterns, jaw development, or certain muscle movements. While a gummy smile is not usually a health concern, many patients seek treatment to improve the appearance and balance of their smile.
At DeLuca Dental, we begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand the cause of your gummy smile and determine the most effective treatment option. Depending on your unique needs, treatment may include periodontal procedures such as crown lengthening, which removes excess gum tissue to reveal more of the natural tooth structure and create a more even gumline.
Our team uses advanced techniques and a patient-focused approach to provide comfortable care and natural-looking results. We will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan designed to enhance your smile while supporting your long-term oral health.
If you feel your gums are affecting the appearance of your smile, contact DeLuca Dental today at (954) 742-7777 to schedule a consultation and learn more about gummy smile treatment options.
