    Default Gummy Smile

    Hi There

    I was wondering if you could help me please.

    I have a very gummy smile which I am very concious of and try and hide with my hands whenever I laugh or smile. It also gives me a huge phobia of anyone getting a photo of me with my mouth open!

    I've read a little about Lazer gum contouring and I was wondering if you could tell me how much this costs and if it is safe to do?

    It is mainly just my top two middle teeth - one has a higher gum line than the other, making one of them look like a baby tooth.

    Many thanks in advance!

    Laser recontouring may be a solution but there are many causes for a gummy smile and it needs to be diagnosed accurately for a natural result.

    It may be that you need bracework or surgery to correct your problem, I'd recommend a consultation with a reputable cosmetic dentist to evaluate your problems further

    Hope this helps
