Show More Smile, Not More Gums
At Credible Dental in Barker Cypress, Dr. Dutt offers gummy smile correction to help patients achieve a more balanced, confident look. If you feel your smile shows too much gum and not enough teeth, modern cosmetic treatments can reshape and refine your gumline—so your teeth and smile look naturally proportioned.
A “gummy smile” happens when excess gum tissue shows above the teeth, often making teeth appear shorter than they really are. While it’s not a health concern, many patients feel self-conscious about the appearance of their smile. Gummy smile correction gently removes or reshapes gum tissue to create a better balance between the teeth and gums, giving your smile a more even and attractive appearance.
At Credible Dental, Dr. Dutt combines precision techniques with a gentle approach to reshape your gums safely and comfortably. We use the Biolase® dental laser—one of the most advanced lasers in the dental industry—to perform gum contouring with minimal discomfort, faster healing, and exact results.Using advanced digital imaging and treatment planning, Dr. Dutt designs your smile to match your facial features and proportions. For patients seeking a complete transformation, gummy smile correction can also be combined with veneers, crowns, or Digital Smile Design for a complete cosmetic makeover.

FAQs
Got any questions?
A gummy smile is when excess gum tissue shows above your teeth when you smile. We offer laser gum contouring and Digital Smile Design to reshape your gumline for a natural, balanced result.
Causes include excess gum tissue, short or worn teeth, overactive upper lip muscles, or upper jaw development patterns. We use digital imaging to diagnose and plan treatment.
A soft tissue laser gently removes excess gum tissue, exposing more tooth surface with minimal bleeding or discomfort. Sometimes combined with veneers or crowns for ideal proportions. Results are immediate.
Treatment is virtually painless with local anesthesia. The laser seals tissue as it works, so no stitches and minimal healing time. Most patients resume normal activities the same day.
Healing typically takes a few days. Mild tenderness for 24–48 hours is common and manageable with simple care instructions.
It improves smile balance, makes teeth appear longer, boosts confidence, can improve hygiene by easing cleaning, and offers fast recovery with durable results.
Costs depend on the number of teeth treated and case complexity. Insurance may not cover it as cosmetic; we keep it affordable and offer financing.
Results are typically long-lasting and permanent; once excess gum tissue is removed, it usually does not return if gums remain healthy.
Good candidates feel self-conscious about excess gum display, have healthy gums and teeth, and want a minimally invasive treatment with fast results.
