Do you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your smile? Do you try and hide when people are taking photos or do you worry about speaking in public? A gummy smile is the name given to describe the aesthetic of the smile when the gums cover a larger section of the teeth than normal. This often results in the teeth looking small and short. If you’re looking for a solution for a gummy smile, we can help! With gum contouring (also known as gum reshaping), we can give you a smile you can’t wait to show off.

How we can treat a gummy smile

A gummy smile doesn’t usually cause any dental complications and it’s not painful, but it can have a major bearing on your self-confidence. If you’re reluctant to smile in public or you don’t like what you see in the mirror, gum contouring treatment may be an ideal solution.

Gum contouring involves removing very tiny pieces of the gum tissue to unveil more of the teeth. The outcome is a more balanced smile, which looks more attractive. The teeth look slightly longer and larger and the smile is in proportion.

Our dental team uses the latest techniques to produce amazing results with minimal hassle. Treatment only involves one session and you’ll be able to see a difference immediately.

If you have a gummy smile and you long to feel more confident when you’re talking to people or posing for a photo, why not get in touch with us and find out how we could give you a gorgeous new smile?
