A gummy smile is a condition where excessive gum tissue is visible when you smile, which can make your teeth appear shorter and affect the overall balance of your smile. This can be caused by several factors, including genetics, an overactive upper lip, or excessive gum tissue growth. For our patients throughout the Golden Plains region, we offer comprehensive consultations to determine the best treatment approach for their unique situation.
