Causes of a Gummy Smile and How to Fix It


Posted September 27, 2021 by simplyteethessex

Dental experts provide an overview of this dental concern

 
A lot of our self-confidence is nestled in our smiles. Thus, if you are not feeling proud of your smile, it can cramp your life and even the level of success you are about to achieve. It is why the team at Simply Teeth Essex is so committed to providing advanced dental care that will help you to live a life of confidence and success. One of the dental concerns that might be cramping your style is when you have a gummy smile.

“A gummy smile is when there is more of your gumline revealed than what you would like when you smile. The more advanced term for the condition is an excessive gingival display. It can be the result of several causes and most of these might make you feel like the only option you have is to make peace with your appearance.

It can be simply due to how your teeth grow or even due to the length of your upper lip. However, there is help available,” says Dr Sunny Sihra, the director of the trusted and highly reputable Simply Teeth Essex.

As this team of dental experts have all the qualifications and skills you might ever need in dental care, they can offer you all the solutions you might need to address this concern. Utilizing a Botulinum Toxin or in shorter terms, BT injection, the overactive muscles of your upper lip can be relaxed leaving it not to pull back as far when you are smiling and this would reveal less of your gum tissue. The solution will bring you results that will last between three to six months. As this is not an invasive procedure, it might be one of the easiest ways to address the concern.

“Another option would be to address the length of the tooth by adding crowns. By using crowns, we can also adjust the overall appearance of your smile. As there would be more of the tooth surface visible, it would bring the amount of visible gum into a much better balance and your smile would appear less gummy,” Dr Sihra further states.

Another option you can follow is orthodontic surgery. While this option is far more invasive, it will bring you lasting results and get rid of your gummy smile forever. “One thing that our team is very aware of at all times is that your teeth are far more than mere tools that play an important part in digestion. No, your smile contributes to a great degree to your overall happiness and your quality of life and that is why it is so important to be able to smile with confidence,” Dr Sihra concludes.
