What is a “gummy smile?”

Excessive gingival display, or “gummy smile,” can affect the aesthetics of your smile and dampen your confidence. It has a variety of causes, but it can be treated and improved. A “gummy smile” is marked by the excessive showing of gums when smiling and impacts the proportions of your smile.

Benefits of Gummy Smile Treatment
