Gummy Smile Correction Near You

If you show an uncomfortably large amount of your gums when you smile, several surgical procedures can correct this condition.

The choice of surgical procedure depends on the cause of the gummy smile; Dr. Parsa T. Zadeh is an expert in several methods that can help restore a beautiful smile with less noticeable gums.

What is a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile, medically known as excessive gingival display, occurs when too much gum tissue shows above the upper teeth when smiling. While this condition is harmless, many people seek correction to achieve a more balanced smile. Explore what causes a gummy smile and the various treatment options available.

Common Causes

A smile is typically considered "gummy" when more than 3-4 millimeters of gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth when smiling. Several factors can contribute to a gummy smile. Zadeh Dentistry in Beverly Hills specialists regularly treat cases caused by:

Short upper lip
Sufficient bone density
Hyperactive upper lip that rises too high when smiling
Excessive wear of teeth making them appear shorter
Upper jaw that has grown too far downward
Incorrect eruption of teeth

What is GUMLIFT®

GUMLIFT® may be the right solution if you have an excessively gummy smile in Beverly Hills. In the past, gum surgery was used only for patients with advanced periodontal disease or whose gumlines could prevent a patient from maintaining good oral hygiene. Today, gum surgery is often provided for cosmetic concerns and for improving oral and periodontal health.

Dr. Zadeh has adapted a series of procedures to create a cosmetic solution for "gummy" smiles. GUMLIFT refers to a series of treatments that include jaw and gum refinement, lip repositioning and crown lengthening to improve your smile's tooth-to-gum ratio and give you a beautiful, balanced smile.

As the inventor of this treatment plan, Dr. Zadeh has unprecedented experience that allows him to create results that few dentists and oral surgeons can match.
