1️⃣ What is gummy smile treatment? 

Gummy smile treatment using crown lengthening (gingivectomy) is a technique that adjusts excessive gum tissue, allowing more of the tooth structure to be visible and creating a balanced proportion between teeth, gums, and lips when smiling. As a result, the smile appears more natural and harmonious. 

Procedure: 

🔸 Consultation and examination with a Dentomaxillofacial specialist 

🔸 Gum contouring procedure 

🔸 Follow-up visit as instructed by the doctor (typically after 7–10 days) 

2️⃣ When is crown lengthening indicated for gummy smile treatment? 

Not all cases of gummy smile require the same treatment approach. The appropriate solution depends on the structure of the teeth, gums, jawbone, as well as the aesthetic expectations of each individual. 

Crown lengthening (gingivectomy) is typically suitable for: 

🔹 Individuals with short clinical crowns and excessive gum tissue, causing prominent gum display when smiling 

🔹 Cases where gummy smile is primarily caused by gum structure and can be improved through gum contouring 

In other situations, when a gummy smile is associated with protruding or misaligned teeth, dentists may recommend more comprehensive aesthetic solutions such as: 

▪️ Orthodontic treatment (braces) 

▪️ Porcelain veneers 

▪️ Dental crowns
