What is Gummy Smile Treatment?
Gummy smile treatment, or gingivectomy, is a precise cosmetic dental procedure that removes excess gum tissue to create a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile. Using advanced laser technology, our skilled cosmetic dentists carefully reshape your gum line to reveal more of your natural tooth structure, creating ideal proportions between your teeth and gums. This minimally invasive procedure not only enhances your smile's appearance but also supports better oral health by eliminating deep pockets where harmful bacteria can collect. Thanks to modern techniques and equipment, gingivectomy is now a comfortable and reliable solution for transforming a gummy smile.
Benefits of Gummy Smile Treatment
Immediate Aesthetic Improvement
A single treatment session can dramatically enhance your smile by creating a more proportionate gum-to-tooth ratio, revealing the natural beauty of your teeth that may have been hidden beneath excess tissue.
Minimally Invasive Procedure
Modern laser technology ensures precise tissue removal with minimal discomfort and faster healing than traditional methods, allowing you to return to your normal activities quickly with minimal downtime.
Enhanced Oral Health
Removing excess gum tissue can reduce areas where harmful bacteria could accumulate, potentially decreasing your risk of periodontal disease and making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.
Long-Lasting Results
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental care, your newly contoured gum line can maintain its improved appearance indefinitely, providing a permanent solution to your gummy smile concerns. A balanced gum line is often associated with a more youthful smile.

My time at Smile Spa was truly such a smooth and kind experience. The staff was all incredibly polite and respectful. Dr. Shawn explained information to me that other dentists had never communicated before. I was given options for my treatment and educated on each route.I've never had such a lovely experience at the dentist before! Immediately, you can tell patient well-being and comfort are top priorities for this office.
Having to lose a tooth is never a fun day but it is a comfort knowing that I was in good hands! Literally! Lol but seriously Dr. Shawn's experience made me feel safe and knowing I was with the right Doctor for the help I needed.
I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with this office. I had a canine tooth root canal fall out in the middle of the night. I called them and they were able to get me in the very next morning.The front desk team, Christina and Kristine, were both incredibly nice and easy to work with. The office itself is beautiful and feels like a high-end, professional establishment. The treatment rooms face the Camarillo airport, offering great views of planes taking off and landing.Nestor and Luz in the back kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. Dr. Shawn is one of the best dentists I’ve ever worked with — you can clearly tell how passionate he is about his work, and it shows in the results.I received a bone graft and had a broken wisdom tooth extracted. I was out of there in just 45 minutes with no pain, my prescriptions already waiting at the pharmacy, and a clear treatment plan moving forward.I highly recommend this office to anyone!
Dr. Shawn is fantastic. He is caring and exceptionally skilled in his field. I felt comfortable and safe with all of my dental work procedures. Highly recommend!
Excellent dental care. No pain. Caring professional team. Recommend!
Dr. Shawn and Dr. Joelle are so kind and welcoming, and genuinely two of the most down to earth and knowledgeable dentists I have ever met! They made sure all of my questions were answered but that I also understood everything about my procedure and felt super secure in my decision. Additionally, Itana and Christina are SO beyond nice and communicative! I am super thankful for everybody at Smile Spa making me feel so welcome and taken care of!
Dr Shawn is genuinely one of the best doctors ive had. He did a great job with my wisdom teeth removal and the healing is going well. I was extremely anxious/in a panic but he was able to ease my nerves and it overall went very well. Cannot speak highly enough of him! (Even while i was in the waiting room another patient was telling me how wonderful he is and that im in great hands) 10/10 recommend!
Very helpful and knowledgeable people, very friendly and Professional
Smile Spa Camarillo is a beautiful, modern office with a welcoming and calming atmosphere. Dr. Joelle and Dr. Shawn and their team are highly trained, professional, and efficient, and they truly go above and beyond to make patients feel comfortable and cared for.

The entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. I highly recommend Smile Spa Camarillo to anyone looking for excellent dental care.
I recently saw Dr. Shawn at the Smile Spa Camarillo and cannot recommend them enough. Dr. Shawn and the whole staff was attentive, knowledgable, detailed, and claiming throughout the whole process. I was referred to them by a mutual friend after not being satisfy with my current dentist, where I spent a lot of money and hassle with getting a crown just to need the tooth extracted after 9 months because of a missed fracture. I reached out to Smile Spa and Dr. Shawn was able to see me within a day. During my visit, they performed multiple test and with advanced technology (including a CT scan of my teeth) was able to identify the problem and throughly explained the treatment plan. The tooth was extracted the same day. It was as smooth and painless a dental procedure can be. Dr. Shawn and the team even followed up through text the next day to see how I was doing. Thank you Dr. Shawn and the Smile Spa team!
Dr Nguyen extracted a tooth for me and will be performing a bone graft and then Implant. The extraction went very well with minimal pain and swelling. Dr Nguyen even called me a couple days later to see how I was feeling and to call him at any hour with any concerns! I look forward to completing the implant!
Clean, modern, and relaxing. The team made me feel at ease the whole time. Great experience!
Dr. Joelle, Dr. Shawn and the entire team are exceptional. They combine advanced technology with genuine care and attention to detail. From the first consultation to the breakdown of my treatment plan and then follow-up care as well. Just impressive, with regular check-ins and a commitment to my long-term dental health.If you’re looking for a place that blends luxury, professionalism, and cutting-edge dentistry, Smile spa Camarillo is second to none.

Great experience with something that isn’t usually pleasant! Dr Shawn & his assistant are wonderful!
Dr. Nguyen and his team are top notch! They will sit down and listen to your concerns and help you make the best decision for your health.
Had the opportunity to be a patient at the office for a consultation. The moment I walked through the door the front staff was extremely welcoming. X-rays were taken by the assistant who were extremely positive and conversational. Both Dr. Joelle and Dr. Shawn came in and did the consultation with me. They explained some of my options on my concerns while giving me more insight on what the procedure entailed. It was such an amazing experience. I’m glad to have found a new dental home. Already looking forward to coming back for the treatments they recommended
Great people, they are amazing! Love the decor! Very relaxing place to be.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gummy Smile Treatment
How much does gummy smile treatment cost?
The cost of gummy smile treatment varies based on the extent of reshaping needed and the complexity of your case. During your consultation, we'll provide a clear, personalized quote and discuss financing options to fit your budget.
Does insurance cover gummy smile treatment?
Since gingivectomy is typically considered a cosmetic procedure, it's often not covered by dental insurance. However, if it's needed for periodontal health reasons, partial coverage may apply—our team is happy to verify your benefits and explore your options.
Is gummy smile treatment painful?
Not at all! Thanks to advanced laser technology and local anesthesia, the procedure is comfortable, with most patients reporting only mild post-treatment discomfort that's easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
What Causes a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile can develop for several reasons, and understanding the cause helps determine the best treatment. In many cases, excess gum tissue simply covers more of the tooth than necessary, making teeth look short. Other contributing factors include the way teeth erupted, an overactive upper lip, or jaw development that pushes the gums forward. Certain medications can also cause gum overgrowth. At Smile Spa Camarillo Dentistry, Dr. Shawn and Dr. Joelle will identify what's behind your gummy smile so your treatment targets the true source.
How Much Does Gummy Smile Treatment in Camarillo, CA, Cost?
The cost of gummy smile treatment depends on factors like how much gum tissue needs reshaping and whether one or several teeth are involved. Because gingivectomy is typically a cosmetic procedure, it usually isn't covered by insurance, though coverage may apply if there's an oral health component. At Smile Spa Camarillo Dentistry, we offer flexible financing options to keep treatment within reach. During your consultation, Dr. Shawn or Dr. Joelle will provide a clear estimate tailored to your specific smile goals.
Gingivectomy vs. Veneers for a Gummy Smile
If you're bothered by a gummy smile, you may be weighing gum reshaping against veneers. A gingivectomy addresses the gums directly, removing excess tissue to reveal more of your natural teeth—ideal when the gums are the main concern. Veneers, by contrast, reshape the teeth themselves and are better suited for discoloration, chips, or proportion issues. Sometimes the two are combined for a complete transformation. Dr. Shawn and Dr. Joelle will help you decide which approach—or combination—best fits your smile.
