Gummy Smile Treatment in Las Vegas

Understanding Gummy Smiles & Treatment Options

A gummy smile appears when too much gum tissue shows above your teeth when you smile. While often purely aesthetic, it can affect self-confidence. At SunBrite Dental, we personalize treatment based on what’s causing the excess gum display—gums, bone, or tooth proportions—and your desired result.

Common Causes of a Gummy Smile

  • Natural anatomy: A high lip line or short upper lip can expose more gum tissue.
  • Excess gum tissue: Gums that extend over the enamel, shortening visible tooth length.
  • Bone position: The upper jaw may sit lower, covering more tooth structure.
  • Tooth wear: Grinding and aging can shorten teeth, making gums appear more prominent.

Smile Enhancement Solutions

  • Gingivectomy: Precise laser removal of small gum sections to reveal more natural tooth length.
  • Gum & Bone Recontouring: For patients with excess bone coverage, we gently reshape both gum and bone for lasting balance.
  • Veneers or Crowns: Used when tooth wear contributes to a gummy appearance, restoring ideal height and symmetry.
  • Smile Simulation Preview: We offer digital previews of your potential smile transformation before treatment begins.

What to Expect During Gummy Smile Correction

  • Consultation & Smile Analysis: We take photos, impressions, and facial measurements to plan precise contouring.
  • Minimally Invasive Treatment: Laser or micro-surgical contouring is performed under local anesthesia—quick, comfortable, and safe.
  • Healing & Results: Mild tenderness may occur for a few days. Results are visible almost immediately and fully refined as gums heal.
  • Permanent Results: Once gum and bone are reshaped, results are long-lasting and typically permanent.

Gummy Smile FAQs

What exactly is a gummy smile?
It’s when excess gum tissue shows above your upper teeth when smiling. This can result from natural anatomy, gum overgrowth, or tooth wear.
Is it purely cosmetic or a health concern?
Usually cosmetic. Healthy gums are fine even if more visible—but if you prefer a different look, treatment is available.
What are my treatment options?
Depending on your case, options include laser gum contouring (gingivectomy), bone recontouring, veneers, or a combination of treatments for proportional harmony.
Are gummy smile treatments painful?
No. We use local anesthesia for comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure with little to no pain.
How long is recovery?
Minor soreness for a few days; complete healing typically within 1–2 weeks. Normal activities resume almost immediately.
Are the results permanent?
Yes. Once the gum and bone are properly shaped, the results are long-lasting and stable with good hygiene and care.
Can surgery be involved?
In some cases, yes—when bone structure contributes to the gummy appearance. This procedure remains minimally invasive and predictable.
Are there risks or side effects?
Risks are minimal when properly planned. We take digital photos, impressions, and measurements to ensure accuracy and safe outcomes.
Will my smile get gummy again as I age?
Unlikely. In fact, gums may recede slightly with age. Proper care and hygiene maintain your new gum line.
How much does gummy smile correction cost?
Pricing varies based on complexity and procedure type. We’ll review all costs during your consultation and offer financing options to fit your budget.
