Gummy Smile Treatment in India: Restore Balance to Your Smile

Do you feel self-conscious because your smile shows too much of your gums? A gummy smile, where a large portion of the gum tissue is visible when you smile, can affect both your appearance and your confidence. The good news is: it’s completely treatable with modern cosmetic dental techniques.

At Advanced Dental Care Center, Chandigarh, Dr. Anshu Gupta, one of India’s leading cosmetic dentists, offers advanced gummy smile correction treatments that are painless, effective, and customized for your facial aesthetics.

What is a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile, medically known as excessive gingival display, occurs when more than 3–4 mm of gum tissue is visible above the top teeth when smiling. While it’s not always a dental problem, many patients seek treatment for cosmetic reasons.

Common Causes of a Gummy Smile

Understanding the cause helps determine the best treatment option:

• Excess gum tissue covering part of the teeth

• Overactive upper lip muscles that lift too high when smiling

• Short or worn-down teeth

• Vertical maxillary excess – when the upper jaw is longer than usual

• Improper crown length during eruption
