Some people's smiles look
unattractive because of the excessive amounts of gum that is shown
above the top teeth when smiling. This condition can lead to people
feeling very self-conscious about their smile and a tendency to avoid
smiling naturally on photographs.
Treatment alternatives involve gum
contouring or gum lift, orthodontics or using pink porcelain. Gum contouring
(gum lift) is a technique that involves removal of excessive gum to
create the correct length to width ratio of the teeth and re-establish
the correct smile line, with the top lip resting at or near the gum
margin of the teeth when you smile. |

“My smile was very gummy and I was very conscious of smiling before my treatment at st.ann's. To improve my smile Paul altered my bite and gave me a gum reduction and this was relatively painless. I have lots more confidence now thanks to my new smile” -
