Gummy smile correction is a group of cosmetic dental and surgical techniques used to reduce how much gum tissue shows above the upper teeth during a smile. The condition — known medically as excessive gingival display — is not a health problem, but it can affect how confident a person feels smiling in social or professional settings. The right treatment depends entirely on the underlying cause: excess or low-lying gum tissue, an overactive or short upper lip, or a vertically overgrown upper jawbone. Options range from a single-appointment gum reshaping or a quick botulinum toxin injection, through minor lip repositioning surgery, all the way to jaw surgery for the most severe skeletal cases. A thorough assessment by an experienced dentist or maxillofacial surgeon is the essential first step before any treatment is chosen.
A single-appointment procedure that reshapes the gum line using a scalpel or dental laser to reveal more of the natural tooth — the go-to option when excess or low-set gum tissue is the cause.
Estimated cost in India: $500 – $1,500
