“Correcting a gummy smile can be such a relief for patients,” said Dr Sunny Sihra, the Director of Simply Teeth Essex in the United Kingdom. “Smiling and your gums are too big can cause a patient to feel self conscious, lowering self esteem.”

Many people who have a gummy smile are embarrassed to smile or laugh in public, they cover their mouths or they don't show their teeth when smiling. Having a gummy smile doesn’t mean you have bad teeth, most people with this have beautiful teeth, they just don't show them. Covering their mouths when they smile or laugh compensates and helps them feel more comfortable, yet they still feel insecure.

Up to twenty five percent of the global population are worried about their gums when they smile, which is why gummy smile correction has increased in demand. Once they take advantage of gummy smile correction, their insecurity is lifted, their confidence and self esteem soars. With the corrective techniques provided at Simply Teeth Essex, a patients smile can become one of their greatest assets.

A beautiful smile is how your smile harmonises with your face. An ideal smile is the upper lip will sit just above the top teeth, but a gummy smile exposes more gum tissue. This condition is not uncommon and effects up to twenty five percent of the population and mostly affects younger women aged between fifteen and thirty five.

Dr Sunny Sihra of Simply Teeth Essex, went on to say “There isn't one simply cause of a gummy smile, which is why patients need to see a dentist with experience working in this area to identify the cause and find the right treatment. One of the common causes is that there is simply too much gum covering the teeth, but the teeth are normal size, they just remain hidden. By sculpting and removing the extra gingiva, the teeth will look the correct size and the gums shown are reduced.”
