A gummy smile, known clinically as excessive gingival display, is when an unusually large band of gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth as you smile. It's a cosmetic concern rather than a disease, but it can make teeth look short and leave many people feeling self-conscious.
Generally, showing 3mm or more of gum is considered a gummy smile. At Mint Dental Care, treatment focuses on rebalancing the proportion between your gums, teeth, and lips through gum line correction so your smile looks naturally harmonious.
A gummy smile can come from several factors, sometimes acting together. Pinpointing the exact cause of your excessive gingival display is what guides the right treatment.
Gums that never fully receded as teeth came through, covering more of the tooth than they should.
A lip that lifts too high when smiling, exposing extra gum tissue, often best treated with Botox.
An overgrown upper jaw (vertical maxillary excess) that pushes the gum line down.
Teeth that are genuinely short or worn make the surrounding gums look more prominent.
Because a gummy smile has different causes, there's no single fix. We match the treatment to your case, from a quick gum reshaping session to a more comprehensive smile correction, always aiming for the most conservative effective option.
Our team will measure your gum display, check your lip and bite, then explain whether laser gum contouring, Botox, or surgery is the best fit, so you can start your gummy smile fix in Dubai with confidence.
Book a Consultation TodayLaser gum contouring, also called gum reshaping, gently removes excess gum tissue and sculpts a new gum line, instantly reducing excessive gingival display in a single visit.
The laser sculpts your gum line to the exact level, giving accurate gum contouring with minimal bleeding.
Most gum reshaping treatments take under an hour, and you'll see your new smile straight away.
The laser seals tissue as it works, so healing is quick and discomfort is usually minimal.
We design your gum line correction to suit your face, for a balanced, natural-looking smile.
"Gummy smile treatment" covers several techniques, while crown lengthening is one specific surgical option. Here's how a simple gum reshaping approach compares with full crown lengthening.
The cost of gummy smile treatment depends on which approach suits you, a quick gum reshaping session, Botox, or crown lengthening, and how many teeth are involved. Everything is explained in full during your initial consultation, with no hidden fees and no surprises.

I recently had a tooth filling done, and Dr. Zee was extremely professional throughout the entire experience. He was a great listener and provided clear, helpful advice. The procedure itself was smooth, quick, and much easier than I expected.
After years of dealing with on/off pain on my tooth (RCT) I finally found relief thanks to Dr. Neha Singh from Mint Dental Clinic. From the moment I walked into her clinic, I felt a sense of calm. Her gentle approach and extensive knowledge put me at ease.

I had a great experience at Mint Dental Care with Dr. Zeeshanali and Dr. Neha. From the beginning, they both took the time to explain every step of the treatment clearly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process.
I recently went in for a general check-up, cleaning, and X-ray, and I had such a great experience. I’m usually very anxious about dental visits because I’ve had some really bad experiences in Dubai, but Dr. Zeeshan completely changed that for me.
The best dentist I’ve been to. I’ve been visiting for over two years and they are very helpful and professional. Dr Zeeshanali has been amazing especially with care before my wedding. Nurse Jithu is so lovely and professional as well.
I am someone who is genuinely frightened of the dentist, so booking this appointment took a lot of courage for me. From the moment I met Dr Neha, she immediately made me feel calm and reassured.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Zeeshanali for my root canal treatment. From start to finish, the entire process was completely pain-free, which honestly surprised me in the best way.
No. Laser gum contouring is carried out under local anaesthetic so you stay comfortable, and Botox feels like a tiny pinch. Most patients describe only mild tenderness afterwards.
Recovery from laser gum contouring is usually quick, most people return to normal activities the same day, with gums fully settling over one to two weeks.
Yes, though we recommend soft, cool foods for the first day or two and avoiding very hot, spicy, or crunchy items while the gums heal.
Laser gum contouring and crown lengthening give lasting gum line correction. Botox is temporary, lasting around 3–4 months, so it needs occasional top-ups to maintain the effect.
Most healthy adults are. The right approach depends on what's causing your excessive gingival display, which we confirm during a quick smile assessment at Mint Dental Care.
