Do you have a gummy smile? Do you feel self-conscious when you meet new people or your smile is on show? A gummy smile isn’t a dental problem as such and it won’t cause pain, but it can affect your confidence and how you feel when you look in the mirror. If you’re looking for a solution for a gummy smile, we can help.

What exactly is a gummy smile and what is the solution?

A gummy smile is the name used to describe the look of the smile when the teeth are covered by a larger portion of gum tissue than normal. If you have a gummy smile, this means that a lot of gum tissue is visible when you smile. Gummy smiles can make the teeth look short and small. If you have a gummy smile, you won’t be at greater risk of dental health issues, but you may be reluctant to show off your smile in public. If you’d like to feel more confident when you smile, we have an excellent solution.

Gum contouring is a cosmetic technique we use to shape the gums and alter the overall aesthetic of the smile. We use the latest technology to gently remove tiny pieces of the gum tissue to unveil more of the tooth structure and make the teeth look larger and longer. Gum contouring isn’t painful and it can achieve amazing results in a single treatment session. When you have gum reshaping treatment, you can look forward to smiling with confidence and feeling happy when you see your smile in the mirror or on camera.

Are there any downsides?

Some people may be slightly apprehensive about having gum contouring, but we can assure you that you’re in very safe hands with us. The technique is tried and tested, the procedure doesn’t last long, and it doesn’t take long for the incredible effects of the procedure to become visible.
