Love your smile..
I see your frustration with your smile. I would short term braces to open up your bite. that means that you will be able to see the lower teeth when you smile and it will balance your smile. It also appears that you would need some gum surgery to contour the gum line, by doing this it will make your teeth longer . I would also recommend a zoom whitening to brighten your smile and then place lumineers to finish of your movie star smile.

Small teeth and I don't like my smile!
Hello! I see your frustration with your smile. For the best results... I would first recommend braces to open up your bite. that means that you will be able to see the lower teeth when you smile and it will balance your smile ( upper teeth and lwer teeth). Second, need some gum surgery ( this could be minor or major- hard to say without a clinical exam) . removing the gums will make your teeth longer . As a possible third step, you can do veneers on your front teeth...

A forever solution
I can hear in you question that you are truly suffering and really want to let the happy person inside you shine without being self conscious about your smile. I see several issues about your smile that I would like to discuss with you. First is the gummy smile that I am sure is your major concern, and your teeth look very small. Secondly, I see that you have a very deep overbite ( meaning the upper front teeth come down too far over the lower front teeth). I can also see...

Enhancing short teeth and a gummy smile
From the photo you posted, I can see that you need to show more teeth at the gum level. This can be done by several means. Bone removal, gum removal, orthodontic super eruption of the anterior teeth . After that you need to elongate the teeth by veneers. Bonding will NOT give you the best result. They change color, for your teeth to be bonded due to their inward tilting, the teeth get ,much thicker , and not very aesthetic.

Small teeth, gummy smile
From just these pictures, it looks like you would benefit from a gum lift. Depending on how close the bone is to the surface of the gums will determine if it would be a simple gum lift with a laser, or if a more advanced technique that required removal of the surface layer of bone needs to be done. Visit a qualified dentist who can measure the amount of excess gum tissue to determine which technique you would need.

Smile Makeover
From the photos, I would suggest that we do some gum re-contouring with crown lengthening. This would improve the gummy smile and then possible do veneers. This would give you an amazing smile.

How to Correct your "small teeth" smile
From your photos, it appears like you would benefit from a gum procedure (periodontal) called "crown lengthening", usually done with a laser, to increase the height of your upper front teeth. That might be enough, and is very long lasting/permanent. If that is not enough, then you might benefit from porcelain veneers as well.
