Please help, tooth and gum separation! is there a way to fix my big gums from showing so much?

Gums VS Teeth: I cannot see exactly what "tooth and gum separation" is looking like in your mouth, but does not sound good. Has it been a long time since you last saw your dentist for dental hygiene care? You may have tartar building up and pushing the gums away. If so, this is serious and needs dentist attention right away. A specialist called "periodontist" is also great to visit.

Consult: I suggest that you go for an evaluation with both a general dentist who performs ; enjoys doing cosmetic dentistry or a prosthodontist ;...A periodontist. Together they can discuss your specific situation along with your esthetic desires ; discuss treatment options to achieve these goals. Treatment can be simple or complex depending upon many factors. It's too involved to give you a simple answer.
