Gummy Smile

A gummy smile, known as excessive gingival display in medical terms, is when you smile and too much gum tissue shows above the top teeth. There are any number of things that can cause a gummy smile. Some are ingrained into our genetics, and there’s not much we can do to prevent those from affecting our smiles, but others are a result of how we care for our teeth, and there are certainly some things we can do to keep that from happening.

Can be performed on both female and male clients
