At Maria Kim, DMD, we understand that a confident smile is your gateway to the world. However, many individuals feel self-conscious about their smiles due to excessive gum visibility, commonly referred to as a "gummy smile." This condition can overshadow the beauty of your teeth and affect your overall facial aesthetics. Fortunately, with advancements in dental technology, particularly laser dentistry, achieving the perfect smile balance is now within reach.

What is a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile occurs when a significant portion of your gums is visible above the top teeth while smiling. Various factors, including genetics, gum tissue health, and the way your upper jawbone developed, can contribute to this condition. For those who are conscious about their gummy smile, it can impact their confidence and willingness to smile freely.
