FAQs

WHAT CAN CAUSE A GUMMY SMILE?

There are a number of factors that can cause a gummy smile including:

Teeth that may seem shorter due to an improper eruption and are abnormally covered by gum tissue
Teeth that may appear smaller in comparison to the gums because of genetics or heavy use
A shorter upper lip
An upper lift that gets raised too high as a result of smiling
Gums that are enlarged through gingival hypertrophy
An enlarged upper jaw–known as a vertical maxillary excess– can make gums more visible

IS A GUMMY SMILE STRICTLY AN AESTHETIC CONCERN OR SOMETHING MORE?

In many cases, a gummy smile is a purely aesthetic condition. A gummy smile is often determined by the shape and size of the lips, facial muscles, shape and size of the teeth, and the gum tissue itself. However, there are some cases where a more severe, underlying condition may be present. If the gummy smile is caused by an abnormally developed jaw or teeth, it may affect your oral health in the future. To best determine if a gummy smile is strictly an aesthetic concern, schedule your consultation appointment at your earliest convenience.
