Gummy Smile Treatment in Hawthorne, CA

Enhance Your Smile with Customized Gum Contouring

Do you feel like your smile shows too much gum and not enough tooth? A gummy smile can make teeth appear shorter or disproportionate, even when they are perfectly healthy. At Schnierow Dental Care, we offer advanced gummy smile treatment to create a more balanced, confident appearance. Using techniques such as laser dentistry and gum reshaping, our experienced team helps patients achieve natural-looking results tailored to their facial aesthetics.

What Is a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile occurs when excessive gum tissue is visible above the teeth. Common causes include:

  • Excess gum tissue covering the teeth
  • Overactive upper lip muscles that lift too high when smiling
  • Small or naturally short teeth
  • Abnormal tooth eruption

Whatever the cause, our dentists provide personalized solutions to correct gummy smiles and highlight your teeth.

Treatment Options at Schnierow Dental Care

Our team offers several options for gummy smile correction, depending on the source of the issue:

  1. Laser Gum Contouring – Gently reshapes and removes excess gum tissue for a balanced look. Learn more about our laser dentistry approach.
  2. Crown Lengthening – Exposes more of the natural tooth structure to create proportion and symmetry.
  3. Orthodontic Solutions – If tooth positioning contributes to the appearance, treatments like Invisalign or braces may be recommended.
  4. Lip Repositioning Procedures – Helps patients whose gummy smile is caused by an overactive upper lip.

Our dentists take the time to explain each option and recommend the most effective treatment for your needs.
