A balanced smile involves more than just teeth—your gums play a key role in its overall appearance. At Dr. Pierre Hilal’s clinics in Beirut and Zahle, we offer specialized gummy smile treatment to reduce excessive gum visibility and create a more harmonious, attractive smile.
A gummy smile, also known as excessive gingival display, occurs when too much gum tissue shows above the upper teeth while smiling. This condition can be due to several factors, including short teeth, hyperactive upper lip muscles, or overgrown gum tissue. While not always a medical issue, many patients seek treatment for cosmetic reasons and improved self-confidence.
Our treatment options are customized based on the cause and severity of the gummy smile. The most common method is gum contouring or gingivectomy, where excess gum tissue is gently reshaped using a soft-tissue laser for precise, comfortable results. This technique instantly reveals more of the natural tooth and creates a more proportional smile.
In some cases, lip repositioning surgery, orthodontics, or crown lengthening may be recommended to achieve optimal results. Dr. Hilal will perform a comprehensive assessment and recommend the most effective, minimally invasive approach tailored to your facial aesthetics and dental health.
Using state-of-the-art technology and refined techniques, our gummy smile treatments are quick, virtually painless, and produce immediate aesthetic improvements. Healing is typically fast, with minimal downtime or discomfort.
With a background in periodontal and esthetic surgery, Dr. Hilal combines scientific precision with an artistic eye—delivering results that are both natural-looking and transformative. Each treatment plan is built around your smile goals, facial proportions, and gum-to-tooth ratio.
