Gummy Smile Treatment - Brooklyn, NYC
Do Your Gums Show Too Much When You Smile? We Can Help!
What Is a Gummy Smile?
An ideal smile is balanced and symmetrical with little to no gum tissue showing above the upper teeth. If too much gum tissue shows when you smile (called “excessive gum display” or “gummy smile”), it can make you feel self-conscious about your appearance and make you hold back when you laugh, smile, or speak. Our team at Always Beautiful Smile offers several options for gummy smile treatments in Brooklyn, NY, to help you feel truly confident!
What Causes a Gummy Smile?
- Genetics
- Overactive upper lip muscles
- Small tooth proportions
- Overgrown or excessive gum tissue
- Jaw growth or alignment issues
- Medications that affect gum size
Why Treat a Gummy Smile?
Improving a gummy smile can boost your self-esteem and help your smile look more balanced. These treatments can also create needed space for restorations like dental crowns.
- Boosts confidence and self-esteem

Versatile Solutions for Tailored Results
BOTOX in Brooklyn, NY, can relax the muscles that pull your upper lip too high when you smile. The treatment is quick, comfortable, and gives you results within a few days. The effects last three to four months, making this an excellent option for patients who want a non-surgical solution.
With regular treatments, your results will last longer, giving you consistent and natural-looking improvement.
Using the advanced Fotona dental laser, we can gently reshape the gumline to reveal more of your natural teeth. This procedure is precise, comfortable, and promotes faster healing than traditional methods. Laser gum contouring creates a more even smile and reduces excess gum tissue, helping to minimize plaque traps and improve gum health.
Crown lengthening in Brooklyn, NY, is a procedure that adjusts the gum and bone around teeth to reveal more of the tooth structure. It is frequently done to prepare a tooth for a restoration, such as a dental crown. Crown lengthening can be performed on a single tooth or multiple teeth to create a more balanced appearance.
