Gummy Smile Concerns & Treatments at Dream Medspa Denver

A beautiful smile should make you feel confident and radiant. For some, however, excessive gum visibility—often called a “gummy smile”—can create self-consciousness, even when teeth are perfectly healthy and attractive. At Dream Medspa in Denver, we offer safe, minimally invasive solutions to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile and help you feel proud of every grin.

Common Gummy Smile Concerns

  • Feeling self-conscious when smiling or laughing

  • Avoiding wide smiles in photos

  • Desire for a more proportionate gum-to-teeth ratio

  • Overexposure of gums alters facial aesthetics

What is a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile occurs when a significant portion of the gums is visible above the upper teeth while smiling. It can result from various factors, including:

  • Overactive upper lip muscles lifting the lip too high

  • Excessive gum tissue (gingival hypertrophy)

  • Short upper lip or high lip line

  • Small or worn-down teeth making gums appear more prominent

While a gummy smile is purely cosmetic and harmless, many individuals seek treatment to achieve a more balanced, proportionate smile.
