Transforming a Gummy Smile into a Radiant, Confident Smile
This patient came to us with a naturally beautiful facial profile, but her smile didn’t reflect that beauty due to her congenitally smaller teeth and enamel erosion that looked like Brown holes on all her teeth. She also had a Gummy Smile which is a condition where too much gum shows when smiling, often making the teeth appear short or hidden. Ideally, a balanced, attractive smile reveals mostly teeth with only a minimal amount of gum tissue showing above the upper teeth.
In her case, nearly half the smile consisted of visible gum, which disrupted the proportions of her otherwise stunning features.
To improve the gummy smile and be able to give her longer and larger teeth and have a more harmonious, confident smile, clinical crown lengthening was performed— a precise, gentle procedure that removes excess gum and small amounts of bone to reveal the natural tooth structure that’s been there all along. This allowed her smile to become more tooth-dominant and aesthetically pleasing.
As part of her custom smile makeover, Dr. Sadati used advanced imaging and digital scans to design her new smile — allowing the patient to preview the projected results before any treatment began.
For the final result, she received a carefully planned combination of Emax veneers and crowns, providing both beauty and strength while preserving as much of her natural tooth structure as possible. The result? A natural, radiant smile that enhances her facial features and gives her the confidence she always deserved.
