Gummy and Crowded Teeth

The Problem

This patient was unhappy about her gummy smile, dark, short and crowded teeth.

The Solution

A gum lift was carried out on the upper teeth followed by ten veneers. An Inman aligner was used to straighten the lower teeth followed by whitening.

The Interview

What motivated you to change your smile?

I wanted to change my smile because every time I looked at someone else who had beautiful teeth I felt embarrassed at the horrible smile I had. I used to be called “gummy” which made me cringe. I wanted straight white teeth and less of a gummy smile.

What treatment did you have?

Gum lift
Elective root canal
Inman aligner for my lower teeth
10 x veneers
Whitening

How did you feel during the process, was your treatment comfortable?

My treatment was more comfortable than I expected. The clinic surroundings and my nurse’s calm voice supporting me helped. I didn’t even know I had injections as Tim was so good at it. Any pain was very minimal.

How do you feel about the result, did it match or exceed your expectations?

It has exceeded my expectations. I no longer have a gummy smile and have wonderful big white teeth. My new nickname is smiler, because I have such a nice smile now “CHEESE”

Is it something you would recommend to family and friends?

Definitely! My husband had already been told “you’re next!”

How has your new smile changed your life, what difference will it make to you?

I can smile now and expect people to think “wow, what wonderful teeth” and not for a minute think I have had veneers. It has made me smile with a glint in my eye.

Sum up your experience in one word

“Flabbergasting!”

How did the team contribute to your experience?

The team have always made me feel welcome, it’s really made a difference to someone who did have a dental phobia. Calming, lovely and kind! Tim is a whizz. The whole experience really has exceeded my expectations.

What our patients say

Sue

Always a positive experience at the London Smile Clinic, from the welcome at Reception to the consultation and treatment from the dentists, specialists and hygienists. The best dental treatment I've ever received.

Áine

This team is amazing and completely saved the day. Kind, helpful, supremely professional and clearly at the top of their game. I knocked out my perfect bridge six days before Christmas and they went out of their way to sort it out in one day, working overtime. Not only did Tim save the day, but they saved my Christmas! I’d already been asked many times who made my bridge 10 years ago - not that you’d have noticed, it was perfect. I don’t know why anyone would go anywhere else.

I cannot recommend London Smile Clinic enough! I saw Dr Joe Bansal for treatment including Invisalign, Composite Bonding and Teeth Whitening and Joe has truly transformed my smile. Joe’s professionalism and work is of an exemplary high standard. I’ve been completely in awe of Joe’s effectiveness in providing patient satisfaction and he’s just such a lovely and nice guy! I was always kept updated of dental work on treatment days and with the overall schedule. The administrative and clinical staff are so friendly too. I’m already looking forward to seeing Joe and Bonnie, the amazing hygienist in six months! Absolutely great experience of overall patient care.

Talal

The crème de la creme of dentists globally. I’ve been to many practices around the world. This is the best of the best hands down.

Lydia

I am exceedingly happy with the excellent job that London Smile have done in realigning my protruding teeth. The results have exceeded my expectations. I would thoroughly recommend this company. All the staff and dentists are very friendly and highly professional.

Sophie

I couldn’t recommend the The London Smile Clinic more, not only did they completely transform my smile but the entire team are so welcoming and helpful. I had a number of different procedures including orthodontics, implants, gum reshaping and veneers so TLSC felt like a second home during my treatment period. The results were absolutely incredible and surpassed all expectations,...

Matthew

The team at the London Smile Clinic are always friendly, efficient & professional. I had veneers fitted by Tim over 15-years ago. They have lasted & look as good now as they did back then. Very happy with the service & product.

Vanessa

Bonnie is the best dental hygienist I’ve ever been to. Very thorough and super friendly! And most importantly, my teeth feel great after a visit with her.
