If you have noticed that your teeth appear too short or that a significant amount of gum tissue shows when you smile, it is important to seek an appointment with your dental team. A “gummy smile” can often result in a lack of confidence, making you feel self-conscious when laughing or speaking. Common causes include the way your teeth developed, the shape of your upper lip, or an overgrowth of gum tissue, all of which can be safely addressed with modern cosmetic techniques.
At Acorn Dental, we’re committed to helping you achieve a balanced, confident smile that you’ll love to share. Don’t delay—addressing a gummy smile is a straightforward process that can dramatically enhance your appearance and ensure your smile is perfectly proportioned to your face.
We don’t just look at the gums; we evaluate the “Golden Proportion” of your smile. We use digital technology to measure the height and width of your teeth in relation to your lips, ensuring a result that looks entirely natural.
In many cases, we can use advanced soft-tissue lasers to gently reshape the gum line with pinpoint accuracy. This often requires no stitches and results in significantly faster healing times compared to traditional methods.
Your clinician will guide you through the best path for your specific anatomy, whether that involves laser gingivectomy, porcelain veneers to lengthen the teeth, or even “lip lowering” treatments—all tailored to your goals.
We understand that cosmetic changes are a personal journey. You’ll receive a clear, visualised plan and transparent fees, delivered in a relaxed environment where your comfort is our priority.

While a gummy smile is usually a cosmetic concern rather than a medical emergency, there are several ways to prepare for your transformation and maintain your gum health:
Maintain Hygiene: Keep your gums healthy and firm by brushing and flossing regularly. Healthy, pink gums provide the best foundation for any cosmetic adjustments.
Smile Analysis: Take a clear, front-on photo of yourself smiling naturally. This helps our clinicians see how your lip moves and how much gum is visible during your assessment.
Identify Your Goals: Consider whether you feel your teeth are too small, or if your gums are simply too prominent. Knowing your preference helps us tailor the treatment to you.
Avoid Temporary Fixes: Steer clear of unverified at-home “hacks” to hide your gums. Professional treatment is the only safe way to alter the gum line permanently.
Book a Cosmetic Consultation: Schedule an appointment for a digital smile assessment to see exactly how we can reshape your gum line for a more balanced look.
At Acorn Dental, our skilled cosmetic team will assess the proportions of your teeth and gums using 3D digital scans. If your teeth are simply covered by excess tissue, we can typically perform laser gum contouring (gingivectomy) in a single visit to gently reveal more of your natural tooth. For more complex cases where the lip lifts too high, additional treatments such as Invisalign®, composite bonding, or wrinkle-relaxing injections may be recommended to create a harmonious and symmetrical smile.
If you’re unhappy with the balance of your smile, don’t wait to reclaim your confidence. Contact Acorn Dental for expert cosmetic care and a tailored treatment plan. With our three locations in Moseley, Barnt Green, and Blythe Valley Park, we’re here to help you achieve a radiant smile that looks and feels natural.
We use advanced laser technology or gentle surgical techniques to reshape the gum line. The area is thoroughly numbed, and the laser actually seals the tissue as it works, meaning there is minimal bleeding and a much faster, more comfortable healing process compared to traditional methods.
Treatments like gum contouring and composite bonding provide permanent or long-lasting results. If your gummy smile is treated using wrinkle-relaxing injections to lower the top lip, the results typically last between 3 to 6 months and will require top-up appointments to maintain.
Not at all. Our goal is to create “Golden Proportions”—the ideal mathematical balance between the width and height of your teeth. We use digital mock-ups to show you exactly how your new smile will look before we start, ensuring your teeth look perfectly natural, not oversized.
At Acorn Dental, your comfort and confidence come first. Our friendly team is dedicated to providing transparent, high-quality care from your very first visit.
