Our Treatments
5 Treatment Options for Gummy Smiles
Every gummy smile is different. We tailor our approach to the underlying cause — so your result looks natural and lasts.
Surgical Gum Lift and Contouring
When your gums cover too much of your teeth, we may carry out a gingivectomy. This cosmetic dental procedure is also referred to as gum contouring. The treatment involves removing excess gum tissue.
Laser Gum Lift and Contouring
A laser gum reshaping treatment aims to contour and reshape the gums to make them look neater and smaller in proportion to the teeth. It’s a simple procedure that can usually be completed in one visit.
Veneers for Gummy Smiles
Veneers can be tailor-made to improve the balance between your teeth and gums. This non-invasive cosmetic treatment makes teeth appear larger in situations where they used to look too small.
Composite Bonding for Gummy Smiles
Bonding is a straightforward cosmetic procedure that enhances the appearance of your smile. Using dental composite, we’ll skillfully reshape your teeth. The materials that we’ll use will perfectly match the colour of your teeth.
Botox & Lip Repositioning
If the positioning of your lips is an issue, we can use injections of botulinum toxin type A, better known as ‘Botox.’
