Q. Hi My problem is a gummy smile which has bothered me for some time now. I have recently just finished quite a lot of dental treatment including invisalign treatment, plus a new bridge, veneers and crowns, whilst my teeth look great I still feel I have a gummy smile, is there any additional treatment I could have to correct this? Many thanks 

A. Ideally the gums could have been lifted before your veneers were made.  It is very difficult now without having to replace your veneers.  You could have had crown lengthening treatmnet which would have reduce the gum amount on show.
