GUMMY SMILE

A gummy smile is when a significant amount of gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth when smiling. Gummy smile treatment uses small amounts of botulinum toxin to relax the muscles that lift the upper lip too high, allowing it to sit in a more balanced position when you smile. The result is a more harmonious smile with less gum exposure while maintaining natural facial expressions.

What is gummy smile treatment? Gummy smile treatment is an advanced injectable procedure that uses small amounts of botulinum toxin to relax the muscles that lift the upper lip too high when smiling, reducing the amount of gum tissue that is visible.

Who is suitable for gummy smile treatment? This treatment is suitable for patients who show excessive gum tissue when smiling due to overactive upper lip muscles. A consultation will determine whether this is the most appropriate treatment for your smile.

When will I see results? Results usually begin to appear within 3–7 days, with the full effect developing after approximately 2 weeks.

How long do the results last? Results typically last 3–4 months, depending on individual muscle activity.

Is there any downtime after gummy smile treatment? Downtime is minimal. Mild redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites may occur but usually settles within a few days.

Will my smile still look natural? Yes. The treatment is designed to reduce excessive gum exposure while preserving your natural smile and facial expressions. The goal is a balanced, natural-looking result rather than changing the way you smile.
