Should I have dental veneers to correct my gummy smile?
Q.
I’m 15 turning in December and I have a horrorifically gummy smile. My gums are much larger than my teeth they are tiny. I feel really embarrassed and self concious of my teeth all the time. I currently have braces on to straighten my teeth but these will not correct my gum issue. I have looked online and have spoken to my mum about porcelain veneers we both think that this is the best option, is there anything I can do now? Composite veneers? Or could I have porcelain veneers fitted now? thank you for your time doctor

As you are quite young I would advise you finish your orthodontic treatment first, after this you could have a procedure called crown lengthening to reduce the amount of gum and make the teeth look longer you will probably have to have veneers. You are more than welocme to come and see for me for achat to discuss the options. hope this helps and good luck
