Correcting gum and tooth aesthetics

You may feel that your smile is held back by more than just tooth colour. Whether it is the visibility of your gums or the shape of your teeth, these details often impact your confidence. We provide cosmetic dentistry in London to address these specific concerns. Our team uses digital imaging systems for accurate diagnostics and treatment planning. This precision allows us to plan cosmetic treatments that address the root cause of your concern.

Some patients struggle with a gummy smile. We offer a surgical gummy smile correction procedure to address excessive gum visibility, or advanced maxillofacial surgery for underlying skeletal causes. For those with gum recession, we provide recession coverage procedures and precise contouring. We also use tooth-coloured restorations to replace decay and preserve your tooth structure. Dr Sodeinde and the team follow standard infection control protocols during every cosmetic procedure.

Why choose our specialist-led planning

Cost is often the first concern when planning cosmetic work. A diagnosis-first approach means you understand the value of your treatment before any fees are confirmed, with no hidden costs.

We avoid the risks of generic dentistry by using specialist-led planning. Our specialist periodontist checks your clinical needs are met before aesthetic goals are set. This precision is vital whether you are considering laser teeth whitening or the placement of composite veneers.

Who can benefit from these treatments

Many people feel hesitant about cosmetic work because they worry about a fake look or potential enamel damage. We address these concerns by selecting materials and techniques that preserve your natural tooth structure. For those seeking a conservative approach, we provide no-prep veneers. Others may find that inlays and onlays are the right choice for restoring strength and appearance. Putting off a visit due to anxiety is common, but we focus on a calm environment for patients who feel anxious.

Whether you have a specific goal or simply want to improve your confidence, your specialist periodontist assesses your dental health to determine the safest path forward. We use your initial consultation to establish if you are a candidate for these procedures.

Long-term success depends on a consistent care routine. We provide a specific guide on how to protect your porcelain or composite work. Regular reviews allow us to monitor the integrity of your restorations and your overall oral health.
