Hi there. I’m a 35 year old woman.
I’m concerned with my ‘gummy smile’ which causes me to feel self conscious. I show at least just over half an inch when fully smiling. Can you advise which treatments options are available to me and recommend the best UK dentists to carry out those treatments. A few years ago I had some cosmetic work to cover acid erosion at the top of my 2 front teeth. Would this limit my options? Many thanks.
Hello. I hope you can help me Dr Hughes. I would like to have treatment for hypermobile lip. It is something that has bothered me for a long while.
When I smile or laugh, around 8mm of my gum is exposed. I asked my dentist but said he couldn’t really help as gum contouring would probably not reduce my gum enough. I’ve tried botox injections but they didn’t work either.
I’m having trouble trying to find a surgeon or someone who would perform this sort of treatment.
I am happy to travel to London, Birmingham, Manchester etc, Can you help?
Thank you for your time.
Hello Dr Hughes, I have a hypermobile upper lip, I am looking for a surgeon who can correct this with lip re-positioning but am really struggling to find a London based clinic, or any in the UK at all really. Would you be able to advise me to where I can go to get this correct with a reputable doctor. I would prefer to have it corrected at Harley Street but cannot see that it’s a correction they offer.
thanks for your help and any advice. Kind regards,
hello, just a quick question.. just wondering if anything can be done with my front upper teeth, they are completely hidden from view when i smile due mainly to the fact that their isnt much gum that their attatched to.the actual teeth themselves are in good condition its just the lips cover them totally i was thinking maybe lenghening the tooth somehow and then later having a lip lift. Its quite embaressing when attempting to smile and any slight improvement would greatly improve my life would you suggest putting crowns, veneers on the top teeth or replacing them with implants thanks for your help in advance!
Hi Dr Hughes,
I wanted some advice on the best procedure for correcting overexposure of gums (i.e. high lip line). I’ve read that this can either be corrected with gum contouring or via lip repositioning (or a procedure that limits the movement of the upper lip). I’m a lot less keen on the latter option but, in my opinion, I think that I have what might be called a moderate gummy smile.. I don’t know, a dentist would know best. I’d be happy to send you a photo to get your initial advice ahead of booking a consultation..
I wanted to know if you could explain a bit more about the different options and which would be best.
Could you also kindly tell me what the price range is for this?
Lastly, I have been living in London for year but am just about to move to Dubai for a couple of months, I will be back in the summer. If you could let me know how long the waiting list is, if there is one, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks very much for all your help in advance.
Best,
CAN BOTOX HELP RELIEVE BRUXISM
Is it true that Transform are going to be offering there own in-house training for Botox. I have heard that you no longer need to be qualified in the medical profession before taking the course? I am very interested to know more details, and would like to know your advise on how best to train to be able to administer botox. I understand the depth and knowledge required.
Thank you
If I qualify as a Dental Nurse, will this enable me to train in administering Botox & Fillers?
