Cosmetic dental problems aren’t always painful, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t keep our clients awake at night. If you’re unhappy with the way your smile looks, it can reduce your confidence, especially in situations where your teeth are on show, such as dates, interviews or work presentations. If you have a gummy smile and it’s getting you down, you’ve come to the right place. Our dentists have extensive experience in gum re-sculpting and use the latest techniques to achieve truly remarkable results.

What exactly is a gummy smile?

‘Gummy smile’ is the term used to describe the appearance of the smile when an excessive amount of gum tissue is exposed. It tends to make the teeth look smaller as the gum extends over the top or bottom of the tooth crown. A gummy smile doesn’t pose any risks for oral or general health, but it can have negative implications for your confidence and self-esteem.

We carry out a simple procedure to make smiles look balanced and our clients feel more confident.

What can be done for a gummy smile?

We use a cosmetic technique known as gum re-sculpting to correct a gummy smile. The aim of this treatment is to create a more attractive aesthetic by removing a small amount of the gum tissue to expose more of the tooth crowns. The result of treatment is a beautifully balanced smile.

Our expert periodontist Dr Federico Tinti works alongside our cosmetic dentists to achieve the perfect outcome. Our team has many years of experience in banishing gummy smiles to create beautiful results. Our dentists use modern techniques and the results will be clear to see after the procedure.
