Gummy Smile, a treatment that the dentist can transform into a confident smile
A scientifically harmonious smile has a balanced proportion of teeth and gums. Ideally, no more than 3mm of gum tissue should be visible when smiling. If excessive gums make your teeth appear short or disproportionate, a gum contouring procedure can help reshape and enhance your smile for a more natural and confident look.
Generally, a specialized dentists determine the need for gum contouring surgery based on the shape of the gum that can cause the risk of oral disease or affect daily routine, such as:
1
Short teeth or excessive gum tissue.
2
Overactive upper lip muscles or a short upper lip.
3
An overgrown upper jawbone, pushing the gums forward.
4
Severe gum disease or deep gum pockets that cannot
be treated with antibiotics or root planning alone.
At DentalWise Clinic, we understand each patient’s concerns and desires. Smile design is an art that requires precision, experience, and a deep understanding of individual facial harmony. With our specialists’ expertise, every smile we create is a masterpiece crafted with care.

How To Turn Gummy Smile Into Gentle Smile
With the advanced technology at DentalWise Clinic, gum contouring can be performed using two modern techniques:
Laser Gum Contouring
A high-precision dental laser is used to remove and reshape excess gum tissue. This method offers faster healing, minimal discomfort, and reduced bleeding compared to traditional surgery. Post-procedure recovery is generally smoother, allowing you to enjoy your new smile sooner.
Traditional Gingivectomy
This method involves the precise surgical removal of excess gum tissue using specialized medical tools, often recommended for cases caused by Hypermobile Lip (overactive upper lip muscles). While this technique provides sharp and defined gum edges, it may involve slightly more bleeding compared to laser treatments.
At DentalWise Clinic, we prioritize clear guidance and personalized care at every step. Our goal is to help you feel confident throughout your treatment journey—without worries.

What is a Dental Implant? Procedures and Treatment Limitations The dental implant was created to substitute for the actual root or natural tooth root. Dental implants can be used to replace one tooth for those who have lost all their teeth. Most dental implants are made of titanium because of its compatibility with human bone. However, for people who have allergies or are unable to use titanium implants due to other reasons, we also have dental implants manufactured with other materials available, such as ceramic, that are compatible with the human body. For elderly patients or those with underlying medical conditions that may reduce the success rate of implant placement, implantologists can select implants with special specifications to enhance treatment success.
