Have you got a gummy smile? Are you conscious about posing for the camera or do you feel like your smile is unattractive? A gummy smile isn’t a dental emergency or anything to worry about in terms of oral health, but it can affect your confidence. With a gummy smile, the teeth tend to look short and small and this can affect the balance and symmetry of the smile. If you wish you had a more attractive smile, we can help! Using advanced gum contouring techniques, we can alter the shape of the gums to give you a beautiful, balanced smile.

What is gum contouring?

Gum contouring is a technique we use to alter the shape of the gums and remove excess tissue from the gum line. With a gummy smile, the gum tissue covers more of the tooth than usual, and this means that the teeth look small. Contouring provides a solution by trimming the gums and reshaping them to unveil more of the tooth structure. This means that the teeth look slightly larger and longer and creates a much more balanced aesthetic.

We use modern techniques to achieve incredible results with minimal discomfort and we can transform your smile in a single session.
