Gummy smiles can be caused by many things – teeth size, bone thickness, thin lips, hyperactive smile muscles etc.

So before treatment can be suggested we need to diagnose the underlying problem or combinations of problems.

Treatment options include:

Gum lift, either with just laser or with bone removal, Veneers, crowns, bonding, lip repositioning surgery, jaw bone surgery, orthodontics or botox. Or it could mean a combinations of all of these. My advice is to see a cosmetic dentist who has treated lots of these cases, such as myself or my team here in Harley Street, and see what they say. Regards, Mark.
