Whether you’re concerned about excessive gum display, uneven gum lines, or simply want to refine your smile for photos and social moments, we’re here to help.
What Is a Gummy Smile?
A “gummy smile” is a common term for when a person shows a significant amount of gum tissue above the upper teeth when smiling. While there’s no official medical threshold, many people feel self-conscious when more than 3-4mm of gum tissue is visible.
Excess gum tissue
A short upper lip
Overactive lip muscles
Small or worn-down teeth
The way your jaw developed (vertical maxillary excess)
Fortunately, gummy smile treatment can be highly effective — and in most cases, completely pain-free and minimally invasive.
Gummy Smile Treatment Options at Chicago Style Smiles
We take a customized approach based on the root cause of your gummy smile. During your consultation at our downtown Chicago office, we’ll examine your smile, take photos, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your anatomy, goals, and timeline.
Here are some of the most effective options we offer:
Porcelain Veneers or Crowns
For small or worn-down teeth, adding length with cosmetic restorations like veneers or crowns can reduce gum exposure and improve smile proportions.
Orthodontic Treatment or Invisalign
If your gummy smile is caused by jaw positioning or bite issues, Invisalign or orthodontics can correct the alignment and improve facial aesthetics.
