If your smile shows more gum than you’d like, you’re not alone — and you’re not stuck with it. At Hansen Orthodontics & Aesthetics, we offer non-surgical gummy smile treatment in El Paso designed to rebalance your smile and restore confidence without invasive procedures.
With advanced techniques like laser gum contouring and TADs (temporary anchorage devices), we create natural-looking, aesthetic results that enhance both your smile and facial harmony.
A gummy smile occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible above your upper teeth when smiling. This can be caused by:
Excess gum coverage over teeth
Short or improperly erupted teeth
An overactive upper lip muscle
Jaw positioning or bite-related issues
While it’s typically not a health concern, a gummy smile can impact how you feel about your appearance — and that’s reason enough to seek treatment. Dr. Nathan Hansen provides customized, non-surgical solutions that reshape and rebalance your smile for a more confident, refined look.
Our non-surgical gummy smile treatment is designed to be efficient, comfortable, and minimally invasive. Using a combination of advanced technology and personalized care, we reshape the gum line and correct the underlying causes of excess gum exposure.
Here’s what the process looks like:
We begin with clinical photos and a comprehensive exam to determine the exact cause of your gummy smile. This helps us identify whether it’s related to gum overgrowth, tooth position, lip movement, or jaw structure.
After diagnosis, we’ll walk you through your personalized treatment plan and answer any questions. Everything is tailored to your smile goals and anatomy.
Mini screws are carefully placed into the bone to help reposition the gums and teeth. These devices apply gentle pressure to move the gums into a more aesthetically pleasing position.
Using a specialized dental laser, we precisely reshape the gum line to expose more of your natural tooth structure. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia for comfort and promotes quick healing with minimal bleeding.
After healing, your new smile will appear more balanced and natural. We’ll evaluate the results together and provide follow-up care as needed. Regular check-ups will help ensure your smile stays healthy and beautifully aligned.
Your smile should never make you self-conscious. If you’ve been hiding it because of excess gum tissue, it’s time to explore a more balanced, beautiful option — no surgery required.
If you’re bothered by how much gum shows when you smile, you may be a great candidate for treatment — regardless of whether you have crooked teeth or other orthodontic issues (we can correct those too). Ideal candidates typically have:
