I show a lot of gums when I smile. How can this be corrected?

Before


After

In the past the only way to remedy a "gummy smile", when a large amount of gums show in a smile, was to break and then reposition the upper jaw. Happily, these days there are less invasive solutions. Depending on an individual’s situation, minor gum sculpting and veneers may be done to show more tooth and less gums, resulting in a brighter, more balanced smile.

A beautiful smile can enhance the memories of a memorable occasion.




"Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push.
A smile, A word of optimism and hope.
A ‘you can do it’ when things are tough." – Richard De Vos
