A smile is one of the most important elements of beauty and self-confidence. However, in some cases, excessive gum exposure when smiling—known as a “gummy smile”—can cause aesthetic concerns. Thanks to advancements in cosmetic dentistry, gummy smile treatment has become more precise and effective, especially with modern laser technology.
