Refine Your Smile Balance with Precision Cosmetic Gum Contouring
A gummy smile occurs when too much gum tissue shows above the upper teeth when you smile. This can be caused by:
Excessive gum tissue covering the teeth
Short or worn-down teeth
Overactive upper lip muscles
Abnormal tooth eruption or jaw development
While a gummy smile isn’t a medical concern, many patients seek treatment to improve the harmony between their teeth, gums, and lips.









At Zara Dental, we believe every smile should look as natural and confident as it feels. For some patients, excessive gum display — often called a “gummy smile” — can make teeth appear shorter and affect overall facial balance.
Our expert team offers Gummy Smile Surgery, also known as gum contouring or crown lengthening, to reshape and sculpt the gumline for a beautifully proportioned smile. Using modern laser and microsurgical techniques, we ensure precise, comfortable, and long-lasting results.
We start with a comprehensive smile assessment using digital imaging and gumline analysis. Our dentists evaluate the cause of your gummy smile — whether it’s gum excess, tooth proportion, or muscle movement — and develop a customized treatment plan.
Using advanced laser or microsurgical tools, we carefully reshape and remove excess gum tissue to expose more of your natural tooth surface. This step is performed under local anesthesia for complete comfort and precision.
Our team refines the new gumline to ensure a symmetrical, natural appearance that complements your teeth and lips. For some patients, minor adjustments to the bone or supporting tissue may be needed for optimal long-term results.
Most patients experience only mild tenderness for a few days after the procedure. Healing occurs quickly, and within weeks you’ll notice a more balanced, confident smile that enhances your facial aesthetics.
A gummy smile can have several underlying causes, and understanding them helps us choose the most effective treatment. Common factors include:
Excess gum tissue: When too much gum covers the teeth, it creates the appearance of short or uneven teeth.
Tooth eruption patterns: Sometimes teeth don’t fully emerge through the gums, leaving more soft tissue visible.
Overactive upper lip muscles: The upper lip may lift too high when smiling, exposing extra gum tissue.
Jaw development or alignment: An overgrowth of the upper jaw can push the gums downward, making them more visible.
At Zara Dental, we carefully identify the source of your gummy smile before recommending treatment. Whether the solution involves gum reshaping, lip repositioning, or orthodontic adjustments, our goal is to create a balanced, natural-looking smile that complements your unique features.
