My Smile Has A Gap And Is Gummy. Is There Anyway I Can Have The Gum Removed And The Gap Closed?

Wednesday, March 19th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Patel, I have a gap in between my front two teeth and the gum inbetween my teeth where the gap is, seems to be kind of gummy. Is there anyway I can have the part of my gum removed and something done to where my teeth will close in making the gap smaller within a small amount of time? This has been bothering me all my life and I have been made fun of all 29 years of it. I want better self- esteem. I am a single low income mother. Is there anything that can be done about my problem and if so what’s the cost and where can I get it done? Thank you.

I’m Interested In Laser Gum Contouring And I’m Also Looking At Getting Veneers To Improve My Smile, Which Would You Suggest?

Wednesday, September 11th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I’m interested in having laser gum contouring for just my front incisors. I am also looking to have some veneers perhaps maybe four(front and lateral incisors) where there are composites at present (which need to be removed).I have just completed my Invisalign treatment and really just want to renew my smile by making my teeth more even in length. I have heard of Emax veneers and wondered why they’ve become more popular. I have also read that these are better than perhaps Lumineers or Davinci veneers. I don’t really understand the difference, could you me understand the difference?

There is too much of a gum look in my smile. Would gum reshaping work and would this be done with a laser?

Friday, November 2nd, 2012
Q.

Dear Dr Hughes,

My teeth are in an excellent condition and they are very symmetrical too as I had orthodontics when I was younger.

However, my gums are not symmetrical and I believe that in some places there is more gum than there should be. I would like to know (a) if I could have my gums reshaped, (b) if part of the bone would have to be removed, (c) if this can be done with the use of laser, and (d) what would the cost be. I can gladly send you a picture if you need more information. Depending on your answers, I would be happy to proceed and have them reshaped at your practice.

Thank you in advance.

What are the options for treating advanced gum disease?

Thursday, August 16th, 2012
Q.

I have advanced stage gum disease and have lost teeth due to it. I am currently seeing a dentist who has removed the 4 front lower teeth and did deep scale cleanig with bone scraping and now am wearing an interim partial. My question is, are there any other options to advanced gum disease other than tooth extraction? When is laser gum surgery still an option? And is most dentist skilled in this procedure?
I am very self conscious about my appearance and just the removal of these front teeth has weighed heavy on my when I look in the mirror without my partial in.
Thank you in advance.

My advice would be that your d… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
