Gummy Smile

What Is a Gummy Smile?

A “gummy smile” is when too much of the upper gum shows when you smile. This is usually caused by overactive muscles in the upper lip that lift it higher than usual. While completely harmless, it can sometimes make people feel self-conscious about their smile.

How Does the Treatment Work?

We treat a gummy smile using small amounts of anti-wrinkle injections carefully placed into the upper lip area. This relaxes the overactive muscles, reducing how much the lip lifts when you smile—resulting in a more balanced  smile.
