What to do to fix gummy smile? I have small teeth and a gummy smile. (Photo)

Hi:I believe the solution to your gummy smile is not veneers.  For best long term result you need to do a orthognatic surgery to move the entire upper jaw up.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Thank you for the question.  For a mild gummy smile, a gingivectomy done with a laser can remove excess soft tissue and increase the amount of exposed tooth surface creating a beautiful, natural smile.  If someone has a severe gummy smile, we can do something called aesthetic crown lengthening, which removes some bone and some tissue to reduce display of gum tissue.  There is also a procedure that can release and lengthen the upper lip to cover more of the gum tissue.  A trained and experienced dentist can assess how much of your tooth is beneath the exposed gum and proceed accordingly. 

Based on the photo, it looks like you would be a great candidate for gingivectomy/ laser treatment to remove the excess gum tissue. This should reveal more of your lateral incisors as well.

Hello,
First, you have to put braces on your teeth to make looks more straight and beauty then you have to make a lil gum surgery to Macht the upper part of your teeth and I assure you gonna have a pretty smile whit out veneers and highly cost treatments. I hope I have helped.
