Gummy Smile (Excessive Gingival Display)

This situation can occur due to a number of reasons: a short upper lip, excessive wear of the teeth due to grinding, a long upper jawbone, and/or altered passive eruption. 

Regardless of the cause, you do not have to live with a gummy smile. Let us work together with your dentist to determine the underlying cause and the proper treatment plan.
