Had the best experience with dr. Oana Ursache, got composite bonding on one tooth and it came out perfect. A really pleasant experience and felt completely taken care of.
I’ve visited the dental clinic for the first time today and I have to say the service and attention to detail have been outstanding. My dental issue was fixed within the hour and I left a very satisfied customer. Dr Darren (I hope I got the name and person right) took very good care of my teeth explained the whole procedure in detail and made sure I’m aware of any potential issues that might come up in the future based on his assessment. I want to say thank you to the whole team for the quick turnaround as I needed the appointment sooner and I will be definitely a returning patient.
I would say one of the best orthodontist I ever been, the whole environment was so brilliant and friendly smile on their faces, I would like to say my appointment was Naomi Rahman and she is brilliant and her staff as well. It’s not be enough to say from Receiption to doctors brilliant, highly recommended
I had a fantastic experience at Sundrive Dental. I was in so much pain when I arrived, but Anne Marie, the receptionist, was warm and welcoming, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free. Dr. Renan and Nurse Maria were amazing—professional yet personal. They assessed my situation quickly and performed the emergency procedure seamlessly, answering all my questions and putting me at ease. The clinic was spotless, and their infection control was top-notch. This team sets the bar high for dental care. Highly recommend!
The attention was impeccable! I was really worried about getting my wisdom teeth extracted but the dental assistants explained me all the process in order to make me feel more calmed.
Lovely friendly staff from the nurses to the dentists. Really clean and safe, with stress free treatments.

What is a gummy smile?
A gummy smile is when the upper lip sits high above the top teeth, showing a large area of gum when you smile. This can happen for a number of reasons, including excess gum tissue, a hyperactive upper lip, or the way teeth and jawbone develop.
What treatments are available?
The right solution depends on the cause. Options include anti-wrinkle treatment to relax the upper lip, fixed braces to improve dental development, or cosmetic dentistry to reshape teeth and gums. We’ll assess your smile and recommend the most suitable option.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most treatments are quick and comfortable. For non-surgical options, you may only feel mild pressure. For orthodontic or dental treatments, we’ll ensure you are completely comfortable throughout.
How long do results last?
Non-surgical treatments usually last 3-4 months, while orthodontic and dental treatments can provide long-term or even permanent results. Patients across Dublin and Kilkenny often combine treatments for the best outcome.
Am I suitable for gummy smile treatment?
Most adults are suitable, but the best treatment will depend on your unique cause. Patients from Dublin City Centre, Kilkenny, Kimmage, Balbriggan, and Artane book consultations to find out which option will work best for them.

questions answered
What is a gummy smile?
A gummy smile occurs when too much gum shows above the top teeth when you smile. In an ideal smile, the upper lip sits just above the teeth. If you feel self-conscious about your gummy smile, treatments are available to help.
What causes a gummy smile?
Gummy smiles can be caused by several factors:
- Overgrowth of tissue: Excess gum tissue covers too much of your teeth, making them look shorter than they are.
- Hyperactive upper lip: Muscles that control the upper lip may lift it too far, exposing more gum.
- Dental development: The way your teeth and jawbone develop can contribute to a gummy smile.
How can a gummy smile be treated?
Treatment depends on the cause of your gummy smile. Solutions may include:
- Targeted muscle relaxants to relax a hyperactive upper lip.
- Braces to adjust dental development.
How do you determine the best solution?
Your dentist will assess your gums, teeth and jawbone to understand the cause of your gummy smile. Every patient is unique, so we tailor the treatment specifically to you.
