Gummy Smile & Uneven Gumline Treatment
Looking for gum contouring or gummy smile treatment near you in Brentford? Bridge Dental offers gum contouring procedures and Botox gummy smile treatment to create a more balanced, proportionate smile — revealing more of your teeth where needed.
The gum line frames your smile. An uneven, high or excessively displayed gum line can make teeth appear short or disproportionate regardless of their underlying shape or colour. Gum contouring reshapes the gum line to reveal a more balanced, confident smile.
Showing more gum than tooth when smiling (excessive gingival display) can be corrected by removing excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth crown — or with Botox injections to limit upper lip elevation.
An irregular gum line — where some teeth appear longer or shorter due to the gum position rather than the tooth length — is corrected by contouring gum tissue to a symmetrical, uniform level.
Patients planning veneers or composite bonding with an uneven gum line often benefit from gum contouring first — ensuring restorations are placed at the ideal level for a symmetrical final result.
A non-surgical alternative — Botox injected into the muscles that elevate the upper lip reduces its movement on smiling and therefore gum display. Quick, no downtime, lasts 3–4 months. From £150.
When teeth appear short due to excess gum and bone, crown lengthening surgery removes both — exposing more tooth. Often required before restorative work where insufficient crown height is available.
