Hi, gums visibility can be due to various reasons ranging from excessive amount bone to lip position etc.
Surgical procedures are orthognathic surgery, gum reduction procedure.
Non Surgical options include Botox which takes 5 mins and cost around 5000, is temporary with results lasting upto 6 months.

Hello,
Upto 2 mm gun visibility can be reduced in less that one hour, painlessly, in the dental clinic itself, without any bad effects, by an experienced cosmetic dentist. (I do this routinely)
If more than 2 mm gums are visible, there are two choices.
First is to reduce 2 mm and see if the result is acceptable when you smile. (if the total visible gums was 4 mm, taking off 2 mm reduces 50%!!)
(since you had asked, the fee ( I charge) for this is 8000 to 10,000 INR per jaw)
Second choice (if the result is not acceptable,) is that there are other treatments to reposition the gums upwards, if this problem really bothers you.
(If the gums show more because the teeth also are positioned downwards, the treatment may be different from the one mentioned above.)
Where GAPS between the front teeth are concerned, they can be CLOSED beautifully is less than one hour, if the teeth are not protruded much. This is done by bonding, and the color and appearance will be EXACTLY that of your own tooth.
(since you asked, the fee (I charge) is 4000 INR for each bonding)
Hope this helps. Please feel free to ask any further doubts on this.

Clinical examination is required to diagnose the cause of gum issue and gaps you are concerned about. Treatment depends on the the diagnosis. You can consult a cosmetic dentist or a periodontist
A little show of gum is esthetic for a lady ... if your worried about too much display then you’ll need surgery or Botox.
Botox restricts the movement of upper lip and can work on short term.
Gum surgery with lip muscle repositioning May give longer results.
