Mulgrave Dental Group offers various treatments to correct gummy smiles, tailored to your specific needs. Our experienced team will guide you through each option, ensuring the best results. Here are some common treatments for gummy smile:

1. Laser Gum Contouring: Laser gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or gum sculpting, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses advanced laser technology to reshape and reposition the gum line. The laser precisely removes excess gum tissue, allowing for a more proportional and aesthetically pleasing smile. This procedure is typically quick, comfortable, and offers minimal downtime.
2. Orthodontic Treatment: Orthodontics, such as braces or Invisalign, may be recommended for gummy smiles caused by misaligned teeth or improper tooth eruption. Braces apply gentle pressure to gradually move the teeth into proper alignment, while Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to achieve the same result. By repositioning the teeth, the gum line can also be corrected, resulting in a more harmonious smile.
3. Lip Repositioning: In cases where a short upper lip contributes to the gummy smile, lip repositioning surgery may be recommended. This procedure involves adjusting the position of the upper lip to reduce the amount of gum exposure when smiling. By lengthening the upper lip, a more balanced and proportionate smile can be achieved.
4. Crown Lengthening: Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure performed by a periodontist or oral surgeon. It involves removing excess gum tissue and, if necessary, a small amount of bone to expose more of the tooth structure. By exposing more of the tooth, the gum line can be adjusted, improving the balance between teeth and gums.

The cost of gummy smile treatment can vary widely depending on the specific treatment option, the complexity of the case, and other factors. However, as a rough estimate, the cost of gummy smile treatment can range from approximately $1,000 to $5,000 or more.

It's important to keep in mind that this is a general range and individual treatment costs may differ.  To get a more accurate estimate for your specific case, it is best to schedule a consultation with a dental professional.
