Gummy Smile Treatments

A gummy smile is characterised by an excessive area of gum appearing when smiling, caused by a range of genetic factors. We offer a quick and effective gummy smile treatment in clinic, involving the injection of Botulinum toxin into the overactive muscles.This is similar to the lip flip procedure, which is often performed at the same time.

Treatments for Gummy Smile

Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Neurotoxin injections offer a quick, minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime, making them an excellent non-surgical solution for a gummy smile. Our highly experienced doctors carefully target the muscles above the lip,specifically the levator labii superioris muscles, administering Botulinum toxin to gently relax the upper lip. This reduces excessive gum show, ensuring a more balanced, natural looking smile, and creating a subtle outward roll.

What is a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile, also known as excessive gingival display, is a common concern we see in clinic, characterised by a smile which shows excessive gum above the top row of teeth. Gummy smiles can occur due to several factors, often genetic and unavoidable, such as overactive upper lip muscles, causing the lip to be lifted excessively when smiling, and a relatively thinner upper lip, which can also be exacerbated through volume loss as we age. Additionally, extra gum tissue can cause the gums to appear thicker, and the teeth to appear shorter.

Being comfortable in your smile is incredibly important, and a gummy smile can certainly impact confidence levels, at any age. If you feel uncomfortable or unhappy with your gummy smile, get in touch now to discuss receiving Neurotoxin injections treatments with one of our doctors, who prioritise natural but effective results.
