Gummy Smile Treatment
Gummy Smile Correction
A smile should make you feel confident – not self-conscious about showing too much gum. If you feel your smile reveals more gum tissue than you’d like when you laugh or grin, our precise anti-wrinkle injections can create beautifully balanced results.
By carefully relaxing specific upper lip muscles, we can:
- Reduce excessive gum exposure when smiling
- Create more harmonious smile proportions
- Maintain complete natural expression when at rest
- Avoid invasive surgical alternatives
- Deliver subtle yet noticeable improvement
The treatment preserves your natural smile’s warmth while addressing what makes you uncomfortable – because confidence should come as easily as smiling itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a treatment session?
The treatment area is first thoroughly cleansed. Using a very fine needle, small quantities of Botulinum Toxin are precisely injected into the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip. The procedure typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes and involves minimal discomfort. Most patients find the injections to be quick and relatively painless.
After the treatment, patients can expect to see results within a few days, with full effects visible after about two weeks. The results typically last 3-4 months, after which follow-up treatments may be required to maintain the balanced appearance.

A gummy smile occurs when too much gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth when smiling, often due to hyperactive upper lip muscles.
