About This Treatment
A simple solution for a more balanced smile
A gummy smile — where too much gum tissue is visible when smiling — can affect confidence. Lip repositioning addresses this by limiting the upward movement of the upper lip, creating a more proportionate smile without extensive surgery.
At MINS Dentistry, lip repositioning is performed with precision to achieve a natural, lasting result that enhances your smile aesthetics.
Lip repositioning may be right for you if
- Excessive gum is visible when you smile.
- You want a less invasive alternative to jaw surgery.
- Your gummy smile affects your confidence.
- You want a natural-looking smile improvement.
