Have you ever looked at a luxury building and felt a sense of calm? Such a feeling has math as a reason behind it. The human eye is naturally drawn to balance and symmetry. It should be no surprise that one’s face is subconsciously judged in the same way. For a face to look beautiful, there should be a visual balance between the features, such as the teeth and the tissue around them. However, in my opinion, most people don’t pay any attention to their big gums tissue.
But Dr. Dimple Desai sees this balance as a structural mandate. She is able to create smiles through an artistic eye and the techniques of engineering. When we’re designing your final look, we take every millimeter into account. We measure your facial features in detail to find the best fit for you.
When you laugh at full length, Dr. Desai observes the shape of your upper lip. She then measures the distance from your nose to your chin. Such level of planning guarantees that the final solution will be on point according to your face and mouth’s structure.
The Visual Disruption of Big Gums
You may find your smile to be off balance when looking in the mirror. Big gums produce a very distracting visual illusion. This thick layer of pink tissue distracts the eye from your enamel. The extra tissue fills up the space between your lips. So you may think that your teeth are too short. Or perhaps they are just too small.
Fret not, because the reality is a much more positive one. Your teeth are almost always normal in size. But they are hidden beneath the excess layer of tissue. A big portion of the tooth crown is buried out of sight.
This concealed enamel gives you a big potential for your new appearance. It’s just a matter of lifting the veil to uncover the teeth beneath. Removing this extra tissue can potentially alter the look of your lower face. Once the tissue is in place the white enamel will be framed perfectly by your lips.
How Genetics Cause Big Gums and Altered Passive Eruption
Genetics play a massive role in how the development of your mouth occurs. Many patients deal with a common condition that is known as ‘altered passive eruption’. This is a physical event which occurs during childhood when your adult teeth are first coming in. In this condition, the pink tissue fails to retract into its usual resting place on the bone.
Big gums are caused due to mishap in this early growth phase. This trait appears very commonly, even in healthy families. The extra tissue sits heavy on the crown. Due to which the tooth looks flat and square.
It takes a simple procedure to correct this trait. The tissue requires a little help to get it to its natural border. Dr. Desai is familiar with this tissue change from a deep medically based standpoint. She safely adjusts the line, without damaging the bone support.

Precision Gingival Contouring: A Master-Level Procedure
Typical clinics tend to be rather basic in how they approach tissue shaping. A general dentist might trim the border straight, in a flat line. But Dr. Desai provides a different level of cosmetic care for big gums. For every single tooth that she designs, she uses a precise and unique scallop shape.
This custom upward curve is known as ‘gingival zenith’ and it mimics the look of a natural gum. To demonstrate, the tissue is made to reach a high point. But it is intentionally slightly off center from the middle of the tooth. Similarly, our front teeth require a slightly different shape than the teeth next to them.
These minuscule changes are planned by Dr. Desai, across the upper arch. Such custom shaping gives your mouth a natural look. The end result is as perfect as a genetic gift.
The AACD Standard for Soft Tissue Design
The molding of the pink tissue is of equal importance to the molding of the white porcelain. An unbalanced border can easily ruin the look of any dental work. Dr. Desai holds AACD Accreditation, proving that she has mastery over tiny details like such.
Only a few dentists are successful in passing the rigorous exams for this distinction. This credential assures her to be knowledgeable of the strict guidelines of face design. She sees the soft tissue as a key element of your personal brand and protects your image. The review board for this accreditation demands perfection in order to grant it. We take the same level of perfection to your mouth in our clinic.

Why You Must Correct Big Gums Before Getting Bespoke Veneers
Building your new smile requires the perfect base. Precision contouring is the essential first step for full makeovers. When an ill-fitting tissue shape is covered with custom porcelain, it is a big problem. If not done properly they look very strange in your mouth.
The master ceramist needs a flawless living canvas to do their job correctly. The position of each tooth should be determined first, both in terms of its height and its width. Natural borders frame the porcelain in the same way a frame holds a painting.
Dr. Desai corrects your big gums in order to make sure that your new veneers fit perfectly. The light should bounce off the porcelain and the pink tissue in harmony. She ensures the math is completely correct before the ceramist starts their work. This deep planning creates a result that you are gonna want to show off.
