    Gummy Smile Treatment

    In smile aesthetics, not only the teeth but also the gums play a significant role. Excessive visibility of the gums during a smile, known as “gummy smile,” can create an aesthetic concern for many individuals. Dentist Aslı Kumru offers aesthetic and functional solutions in gum aesthetics, preserving natural tissues through her expertise in biomimetic and biological dentistry.

    Gummy Smile; What is Gummy Smile?

    Gummy smile refers to the situation where the gums are more visible than the teeth when smiling. This may be due to differences in gums, tooth size or upper lip movements. Although it is not a medical problem, it can cause aesthetic discomfort and affect a person’s self-confidence.

    What Causes Gummy Smile?

    • Excess Gum Tissue Growth: Excessive gum tissue can make the teeth appear smaller.
    • Short Dental Crowns: Short tooth dimensions can make the gums more prominent.
    • Hyperactive Upper Lip: Excessive upward movement of the upper lip can expose the gums.
    • Jaw Structure Issues: Structural differences in the jawbones that affect gum appearance can also be a factor.

    Gum Aesthetic Treatment Methods

    • Gum Contouring (Gingivectomy)

    Excess gum tissue is reshaped using laser or surgical methods. This procedure makes the teeth appear longer and more aesthetically pleasing.

    • Botulinum Toxin Application: 

    Limits the excessive movement of the upper lip to reduce gum visibility.

    • Orthodontic Treatment

    In cases of gummy smile caused by jaw structure, orthodontic treatment can be used to adjust the positioning of the teeth.

    • Lip Contouring

    In necessary cases, surgical or Botox methods are used to control lip movements.

    • Biomimetic Approach

    Dentist Aslı Kumru ensures the treatment process is both aesthetic and long-lasting by preserving the natural tooth and gum tissues.
