What are Gummy Smiles?
A gummy smile, also known as excessive gingival display, occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible when smiling, leading to an unbalanced or disproportionate appearance of the smile. At St. Pete Oral Health Center in St. Petersburg, FL, we offer personalized treatment options to address gummy smiles and enhance the harmony and aesthetics of your smile.
What Does it Do?
Gummy smile treatment aims to correct the appearance of excessive gum tissue and restore balance to the smile. Depending on the severity of the gummy smile and the underlying cause, treatment options may include:
