Gummy Smile? Why an Elite Smile Makeover Can Be Your Best Option

A beautiful smile is all about balance—and for some individuals, the problem isn’t with the teeth themselves, but rather how much of the gums show when smiling. Commonly referred to as a “gummy smile,” this condition can make people feel self-conscious, even when their teeth are otherwise healthy. In most cases, an Elite Smile Makeover can be the transformative solution you’ve been searching for, offering a blend of artistry and precision dentistry to restore facial harmony.

A gummy smile may occur for several reasons, including excessive gum tissue, short upper lips, or small teeth that haven’t fully erupted. In many cases, the upper lip lifts too much during a smile, revealing more of the gumline than is aesthetically ideal. While some people attempt to hide their smile because of this, a tailored cosmetic approach can provide a life-changing boost in both appearance and confidence.

Instead of relying on one-size-fits-all treatments, a comprehensive smile makeover addresses the underlying causes of a gummy smile. At Beverly Hills Dentistry, both the Signature and Elite Smile Makeover options are designed to go beyond surface-level fixes. These offerings are tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure, bite, and smile dynamics.

With a gummy smile, treatments may include laser gum contouring to gently reshape the gumline, the strategic placement of porcelain veneers to lengthen the appearance of teeth, and sometimes Botox to control upper lip movement. Every decision is made with your entire facial profile in mind, ensuring a natural, proportional result.

For those who desire the highest level of detail, personalization, and craftsmanship, the Elite Smile Makeover is the gold standard. This exclusive process begins with a private consultation featuring advanced facial imaging and digital smile design. Every element—from tooth length and shade to gum proportion and smile symmetry—is studied with incredible precision.

Working in partnership with a world-renowned ceramist, your new smile is handcrafted over a 7-8 week timespan. A full day is dedicated to each arch of your mouth, and you’ll receive beautifully crafted temporaries so you can preview your new smile before final placement. When your final veneers are ready, they arrive with a Certificate of Authenticity—a true mark of the artistry involved.

This level of care is offered only to a select number of patients, with appointments reserved for those ready to invest in a truly elite experience.

While the Elite Smile Makeover is the pinnacle, the Signature Smile Makeover also provides an elevated level of cosmetic care. It includes personalized planning, high-quality veneers, and a dedicated focus on achieving natural results—perfect for individuals seeking transformation with slightly more flexibility.

A gummy smile doesn’t have to hold you back. With the Elite Smile Makeover at Beverly Hills Dentistry, you can experience the fusion of advanced cosmetic techniques and meticulous design—delivering a smile that’s not only more balanced but authentically you.
