my gums are too big and teeth are too small

Q. Hello, Just wanted some advice really, i hate my teeth so much…. They are sparkling white and are quite straight but they are tiny and i have big gums. They lookn like baby teeth!! A dentist a few years ago took too many teeth out and i think this made my mouth look smaller. I would to be able to smile without my gums showing and my teeth looking a bit bigger, maybe veneers would suit me? any suggestions, and how much roughly would this cost? Thanks very Much

A. Hi,

It seems as though you may be describing a problem of tooth wear and gum disease. In removal of teeth in the past has caused spaces to occur. Gum disease may have then caused the teeth to drift and move from the natual alignment you had.

You are indeed correct that veneers may help you with your problem, however working on the basics would help increase the lifespan of the work. Treating the gum disease first will help, and once this is under control having treatment such as veneers could help restore your smile. However if there is a lot of wear of the teeth, treatments to increase the facial height may be needed.

Cost wise, for very good cosmetics, and if treatment to both arches is required you may be looking in the £13 000 region.
