Blue Sky Dentistry explains that even if a person’s teeth are perfectly straight and white, their aesthetic appeal may be diminished by an imperfect gum line. They add that ‘gummy smile’ occurs when the gum line in the mouth falls too far below the lip line, or is simply too uneven. The effect may make the smile look smaller than usual.

The cause of gummy smiles may be genetics, health circumstances or high blood pressure prescriptions. Although purely aesthetic in nature, a gummy smile may have a noticeable effect on the person’s self-confidence.

The dental practice’s gum contouring treatment reshapes the gums, creating a more even gum line that improves the appearance of the patient’s teeth and smile. The treatment itself is quick and painless, and does not require sedation.

Blue Sky Dentistry also offers gum grafting surgery when a simple contouring treatment is not enough. This is mostly used for patients with exposed tooth roots resulting from tooth or gingival recession. Like a gummy smile, an overexposed tooth root may cause the person’s smile to look uneven and unnatural.

During the gum grafting process, the dentist will take extra gum tissue from the patient’s existing palate or from another donor. As its name suggests, the tissue will be grafted directly on top of the overexposed tooth root to even out the gum line.

Blue Sky Dentistry notes that this is more than just for aesthetic reasons. An overexposed tooth is more sensitive than one that’s formed normally. The graft evens out the gum line and reduces the teeth’s sensitivity to external forces.
