Abstract	Smile aesthetics play a crucial role in shaping perceptions of beauty and attractiveness. A healthy and attractive smile can significantly boost both appearance and confidence. Effective smile design helps create a harmonious relationship between dental and soft tissues, which is vital for achieving the desired esthetic outcomes. Excessive gingival display, or gummy smile, can be a common concern for many. Gingivectomy is primarily indicated for addressing gingival enlargements, which can occur due to various conditions like hyperplasia or inflammation. The procedure aims to remove the excessive gum tissue. This helps create a healthy, functional gingival contour following the excision. Gingivectomy can either be done using a scalpel or laser depending on the procedure. In this case smile design was successfully implemented to restore gingival contours through gingivectomy using conventional scalpel techniques. This approach not only enhances the likelihood of achieving a beautiful and harmonious smile but also ensures a smoother recovery process for the patient.
