How our Gummy Smile treatment works

Causes

A gummy smile, also known as excessive gingival display, occurs when too much gum tissue shows above your upper teeth when you smile. This can be due to:

  • Muscle Hyperactivity: The muscle responsible for lifting your upper lip can be overactive, making your lip rise higher than normal during a smile.
  • Jawbone Shape: The development of your jawbone can influence how your teeth and gums are positioned.
  • Gum Tissue: Having too much gum tissue or a high gum line can also contribute.
  • Upper Lip Length: A short upper lip can expose more gum tissue.
Treatment

Small amounts of botulinum toxin are precisely injected into the overactive muscle using a fine needle. The toxin temporarily relaxes the hyperactive muscle which limits the upward movement of the lip. This results in less gum being exposed when you smile.

FAQs

A gummy smile correction is a non-surgical procedure aimed at reducing the excessive gingival display when you smile. It involves the use of injectable botulinum toxin to relax the muscles that elevate the upper lip.

The procedure involves carefully injecting botulinum toxin into the muscles around the mouth. This relaxes the muscles, preventing them from elevating the lip excessively and therefore reducing the appearance of a gummy smile.

Yes, when performed by a skilled practitioner, this treatment is safe. The products used are well-trusted in the industry and have a long history of efficacy and safety when used correctly.

The procedure involves minimal discomfort. Numbing cream and a fine needle is used for the injections. Although some patients report a small stinging sensation, it’s very short lived.

The actual injection process is quite swift, typically taking no more than 10 to 15 minutes.

Gummy smile correction requires no downtime. The vast majority of patients return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Some results will be visibile immediately, and will continue to become more noticeable within a few days, with full effects usually seen within two weeks.

The effects typically last for about 3 to 4 months. However, this can vary based on individual factors like muscle strength and metabolism.

Common side effects are mild and may include temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Serious complications are rare, but will be discussed during your consultation.

The effects of botulinum toxin gradually wears off, so the treatment is not permanent. However, there’s no immediate reversal agent for the neurotoxin used in this treatment.

Ideal candidates are those with a healthy dental structure and a desire to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile. Your suitability can best be determined during a consultation.

Yes, when performed by an experienced practitioner, the treatment aims to maintain natural facial expressions while reducing the gummy appearance.

Post-treatment, avoid rubbing the area and engaging in heavy physical activity for a short period. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions.
