Asked By:Crw162 in Philadelphia, PA

I have a gummy smile that I want to improve. I have been seeking the help of a couple of dentists for about a year. One wanted to do the scapel surgery and another said thAt my gums are not terrible and I can either consult another dentist that has the laser for reshaping or just do veneers. I also have small teeth like my mother. I am diabetic and I don't want to go thought the pain and chance of not healing properly. Cosmetic dentists, can a simple placement of veneers help me?
