RESHAPE YOUR
SMILE LINE
GUMMY SMILE CORRECTION IN VAPI
If too much of your gums show when you smile, you may feel self-conscious — even if your teeth are healthy. At CaP Dental Clinic in Vapi, we offer safe, effective gummy smile correction to create a more balanced smile where your teeth, lips, and gums appear in harmony.
Led by Dr. Sonia Bansal, our clinic focuses on minimally invasive techniques that reshape your gumline, enhance your facial aesthetics, and bring back your natural smile confidence.
What Is a Gummy Smile?
A "gummy smile" occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue shows above the top teeth when you smile — typically more than 3–4 mm.
Common causes include:
- Excessive gum growth covering too much of the tooth surface
- Short or worn teeth
- Hyperactive upper lip movement
- High lip line or thin upper lip
- Abnormal tooth eruption or jaw structure
Fortunately, most gummy smiles can be corrected through a combination of gum contouring, laser treatment, or orthodontic adjustments, depending on the underlying reason.
How Do We Fix a Gummy Smile?
At CaP Dental Clinic, your treatment plan starts with a detailed examination and smile analysis. Based on your specific condition, we may recommend:
- Laser Gum Contouring – Ideal for patients with excess gum tissue. A gentle dental laser reshapes the gumline, revealing more of your natural teeth without surgery.
- Crown Lengthening – If necessary, this procedure adjusts both the gum and bone levels to expose more of the tooth, usually for restorative or cosmetic purposes.
- Botox for Lip Control – For cases with a hyperactive upper lip, a mild dose of Botox can reduce upward movement during smiling.
- Orthodontics or Veneers – To address tooth size or jaw position concerns, we may combine treatments with clear aligners or cosmetic veneers for full smile harmony.
Is Gummy Smile Correction Painful?
No — the procedures we use are designed to be as minimally invasive and comfortable as possible. Laser gum reshaping is done under local anesthesia and involves no bleeding, stitches, or long recovery.
- Most patients return to routine activities within a day
- Discomfort is mild and manageable with over-the-counter medication
- Post-procedure care is simple, involving soft foods and gentle brushing
- Healing typically completes within 5–7 days
We guide you step by step through your care plan and ensure you're fully supported before, during, and after the procedure.
How Long Do Results Last?
Gummy smile correction results are permanent or long-lasting, depending on the technique used:
- Laser gum contouring and crown lengthening produce permanent reshaping
- Botox lip correction may need to be repeated every 5–6 months
- Orthodontic changes or veneers provide durable aesthetic correction with proper care
We also recommend follow-up checkups to assess healing and ensure smile stability.
