Our dentists meet with you to discuss your goals and assess your oral health. We take the time to understand your concerns, treatment preferences, and what you hope to achieve. We also examine the way you smile, speak, and bite, along with your unique facial structure and dental characteristics. This information helps us recommend treatment options tailored to your individual needs.
After a thorough assessment, including detailed scans, we determine the most appropriate treatment for your needs. We then carry out the necessary preparation to plan your treatment and begin the steps towards improving the appearance of your teeth and gums.
Once all preparation is complete and your treatment plan is finalised by you with support and guidance from our dentist, we carefully carry out your treatment. This personalised approach focuses on addressing your individual smile goals and supporting a smile outcome tailored to your unique needs.
Treatment times for a gummy smile can vary depending on the approach used. Some treatments, such as laser gum contouring or Botox, may provide noticeable changes relatively quickly, sometimes within one visit or a week. Other options, like braces or surgery, usually require a longer treatment period and may take several months to achieve the desired outcome. Your dentist can provide guidance on what to expect based on your individual situation and treatment plan.
Not always! Many people can fix their gummy smile with non-surgical options like laser treatment, Botox, or orthodontics.
At Dental Boutique™, we work with you to plan treatment options that aim to support both function and appearance, always noting that results are individual.
Please note that the outcome shown in the image is only relevant for this patient and does not necessarily reflect the results other patients may experience. Results, risks, complications, and recovery times vary by person and procedure.
