There are many reasons why you may not be entirely happy with your smile. Crooked, stained or chipped teeth to just name a few. Here at Harley Street Dental Clinic, we have the skills and know-how to help fix your dental imperfections so you can smile with confidence. This doesn’t just mean tackling issues with your teeth but also with your gums.
Sometimes gum tissue can cover up too much of the teeth. One possible reason for this is the way your teeth erupted through the gums when they first grew. The end result: a gummy smile that affects your self-confidence. At our dental clinic in W1, we believe that everyone shoudl enjoy a confident smile. We offer a treatment that could help improve your gummy smile, giving you back the confidence you should have when smiling.
Effective treatment for gummy smiles
Here at our W1 dental clinic, we offer a treatment commonly known as a ‘gum lift’. This treatment can reshape your gums into a more desirable form, uncovering more of your teeth. It can completely change the appearance of your smile, bringing better proportions to your mouth.
Your gums are raised and shaped to fit your teeth better. This is usually achieved with the use of a laser that can painlessly reshape the gum line. For more severe cases, the effect can be achieved through the removal of bone and gum tissue using dental surgery.
Most of the time you won´t need to take any time off work after this type of treatment, so there will hardly be any downtime, if any. Some swelling and redness may be present after the treatment for which we can prescribe medication. You will notice the positive difference immediately.
Benefits of a better proportioned smile
Having a better proportioned smile can change the appearance of your whole face, bringing more balance to your smile. This can have a huge impact on your self-confidence.
The same goes for many of the cosmetic dental treatments we have to offer, which combined with our preventative and restorative dental care at our W1 dental clinic, will ensure you enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles.
