Gummy Smile Treatment in Gwalior
If you feel that too much of your gums show when you smile, you may have what's commonly called a "gummy smile". It's usually harmless – but it can affect your confidence in photos and social situations.
At Dental Tonic, Gwalior, we offer gentle Gummy Smile Treatment in Gwalior to reduce excess gum display and create a more balanced, natural-looking smile.
What Is a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile is when a larger-than-usual portion of your gums shows above the upper teeth while smiling – often more than 3–4 mm.
💡 Good News: It's mostly a cosmetic concern, but improving it can make you feel much more confident when you smile.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate if:
- Your gums show more than 3–4 mm when you smile
- You feel self-conscious about the amount of gum on display
- Your gums and teeth are generally healthy
✓ Personalized Assessment: We first check the cause – gum tissue, teeth size, lip movement or jaw position – and then suggest the safest, most suitable treatment.
Treatment Options at Dental Tonic
- Laser Gum Contouring – Gently reshapes and removes extra gum tissue for a more even gum line
- Crown Lengthening – Exposes more of the natural tooth when teeth appear very short
- Orthodontic Treatment – Braces or aligners if tooth or jaw position contributes to the gummy smile
- Combined Smile Makeover – Gum contouring paired with veneers or aligners for best results
🎯 Customized Approach: Some patients need only a small laser correction; others benefit from a combination approach for long-lasting harmony.
If your gummy smile is linked to alignment or overall aesthetics, you can also explore our smile makeover in Gwalior and orthodontic options such as clear aligners in Gwalior and dental braces in Gwalior.
Is Treatment Painful?
Laser gum contouring is gentle and usually done under local anesthesia, so you should feel only slight pressure or warmth – not pain.
Most laser procedures are completed in a single visit, with initial healing in about 5–7 days. During this period, we guide you on diet and care to keep you comfortable.
Results & Cost
Many patients notice an instantly more balanced smile once excess gum tissue is reshaped. As the gums heal, the final result becomes smoother and more natural.
- Laser gum contouring and crown lengthening often last for many years
- Results depend on gum health, bone structure and habits
- Very jaw-related gummy smiles may need orthodontic or combined treatment
💰 Transparent Pricing: The cost of Gummy Smile Treatment in Gwalior depends on the method used – laser contouring, crown lengthening, orthodontics or combinations. You'll always receive a clear, detailed estimate before treatment begins.
Common Questions
Is a gummy smile harmful for my teeth or health?
In most cases, a gummy smile is primarily a cosmetic issue and does not harm your teeth. However, if it is linked to gum disease or jaw problems, those conditions need proper evaluation and treatment.
Is laser gummy smile treatment painful?
No. Laser gum contouring is done under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Mild tenderness afterward is common but usually settles in a few days.
How long does treatment take?
Laser contouring and basic gum reshaping are often completed in a single visit. Healing takes around 5–7 days. If orthodontic treatment is included, overall treatment time will be longer.
Will my gums grow back after contouring?
Gum contouring results usually last for many years. Some regrowth can occur in certain cases or due to genetics and habits, but significant return of the gummy smile is uncommon when the procedure is properly planned.
What about aftercare?
After treatment: eat soft, non-spicy foods for a few days, brush gently around treated gums, avoid smoking and very hot foods during early healing, and use prescribed gels or rinses if advised.
