Gummy Smile
in Loughborough
Does Your Smile
Reveal More Gums Than You’d Like?
At Ascent Dental Care Loughborough we often see patients with a ‘gummy smile’. This is when too much of the gingival (gum) tissue shows when you smile. Sometimes, although the teeth may be the correct length, excessive gum tissue growing down the tooth can make teeth appear too short, causing a low and uneven gum-line which results in a ‘gummy’ smile.
Gummy smiles are not harmful and more common than you think. However, patients often feel their gummy smiles are unattractive which can cause embarrassment and knock their self-esteem.

Treating a Gummy Smile?
At Ascent Dental Care Loughborough, we have several solutions available to successfully treat a gummy smile:
- Gum Contouring – Gum contouring techniques can be used to remove excess gum to improve the appearance of uneven gum lines and gummy smiles. Type of treatment depends on how much excess gum is showing.
- Orthodontics (braces) – This treatment is particularly effective for younger patients in order to help prevent gummy smiles appearing in older years.
- Anti-ageing treatment – We can use muscle relaxing therapy to the muscles in the lip area, causing it to drop and hide the excess gum tissue completely.
These treatments are known as crown lengthening procedures and can reduce the amount of gum tissue to make your teeth more visible when you smile.
This place is absolutely amazing the customer care and attention to detail is 5 star. I want to say an extra big thank you to Mandeep (dentist) and Ellie (nurse) for being with me every step of the way, your aftercare and support has been overwhelming and I’m so so pleased with the end result 😊. Anybody reading this review believe me Ascent Dental Care Loughborough is honestly the best.
Before & After
Gummy Smile
This patient was unhappy with the alignment of her teeth and her gummy smile. We used orthodontic treatment to align the teeth and reduce the gummy smile.

Everyone is so helpful and friendly. Every time I’ve been my appointments have been on time and quick, and my dentist is really professional and welcoming. Highly recommend to anyone looking for general dentistry or orthodontic/ cosmetic treatment.
16 months of dental work and I couldn’t be happier with the final result with my new smile!
I did not think it was possible to perfect my teeth due to my over bite and I was worried about the time I would need to wear a brace but it flew by.
The transformation is amazing and I can now smile with confidence!
Thank you x
I recently completed my teeth whitening process at Ascent in Loughborough with Dr Jyoti Parmar. This was made a little more difficult due to me having a dead tooth and a veneer at the front, however the whole process was explained and Jyoti made sure I was content with all steps.
After completing my at home whitening I had to be matched up for my new veneers, I then had to have the two dead teeth shaved down and prepared for veneer fitting. During the period my veneers were being made one of my teeth chipped and Jyoti got me in as soon as she could to assess if the veneers could still be fitted. All was well and I had my veneers fitted the next day.
The finished whitened smile with new veneers, also closing my gaps slightly looks amazing and has already given me more confidence, the teeth are lots whiter and the veneers look natural. Overall I’m extremely pleased with how my procedure turned out, the communication and levels of professionalism from all at ascent! If you’re thinking of having some whitening done or replacing veneers go with ascent, you won’t be disappointed!
Thank you so much ! From the first step into Ascent Dentist I was welcomed and reassured that I would be treated to suit my fears. I am terrified of the dentist but after meeting the receptionist,the nurse then the actual dentist I felt that I could actually go through with my treatment. I had an initial examination then was advised what treatment I needed. I felt so relieved that I agreed to have the treatment. I made my appointment for root canal and fillings under sedation! WOW! On the day of treatment I arrived and was put at ease by all welcoming,smiling staff,it really is a good environment! Had my treatment and taken. Home_ no side effects but best of all no pain. I would recommend ASCENT Dentist to anyone afraid or not. Thank you for making this the best dental experience. Mrs D’Arcy.
I had a fantastic experience here. I came for a cosmetic consultation which was a fantastic deal to start with. The information and insight from the dentist I seen today was the best I have experienced so far to tell the truth.
I am a very nervous patient with an irrational fear of the dentist, today it felt calming and I felt understood. The options shared I genuinely felt were what will be best for me and I felt cared for.
I am happy to hopefully progress through the treatment and look forward to potentially having more confidence and a great smile. Nothing Ive seen today gives me even an ounce of doubt about their ability to care for me and do what’s best for me.
The hygiene is also fantastic, there was plenty of room to park which is always a great sign. Friendly and professional staff also help you feel welcome and comforted.
Thank you.
I was treated by Ketul for teeth straightening and the lovely Rachel. I am absolutely delighted with the results, and lots of people have commented on my new smile. The professionalism and care of every member of staff is excellent. I have recommended them to several people, and I can honestly say that they are one of the best businesses I have ever used.
Overall a good experience, friendly and informative staff.
Having recently moved into the area we visited Ascent. I have been blown away by the service I received. I had a problematic tooth & was seen by a specialist who did a root canal & the results are unbelievable! Today was my 2nd visit to the hygienist who was very pleased with improvements to my gums following her recommended regime previously. The service from receptionists, dentist, specialist & Tabya my hygienist have me faultless. This practice is first class & so glad we moved there.
Got me in on an emergency appointment. Very friendly and informative staff there. I’m a nervous patient and they were very understanding and patient with me. Encouraging and empathetic throughout the whole procedure of having a tooth out. Definitely recommend.
Having recently moved to Leicestershire we were looking for a new dentist. My husband had a crown fitted by our previous dentist & was having pain. We both went to see Shivam at Ascent & he was fabulous. My husband was made an appointment to see a specialist & the following week he had a root canal. He’s now pain free & SO happy! The staff at the Loughborough surgery are so friendly and professional. They call to remind you of appointments & in fact called the day after hubby’s root canal to check he was ok. Wow! To say we’re impressed is an understatement. At last a dentist we can trust to take care of us. Have recommended Ascent to neighbours.
