Gummy Smile
A Gummy Smile treatment reduces excess gum show to reveal a more balanced, confident smile. This subtle enhancement creates harmony between your lips and teeth for a naturally beautiful appearance.

How It Works
Gummy smile treatment uses targeted injections of neuromodulators — such as XEOMIN® or Botox® — to relax the muscles that lift your upper lip. Our expert injector carefully places tiny amounts of product into these muscles, gently lowering the upper lip and reducing excessive gum show when you smile. The procedure is quick and precise, resulting in a naturally enhanced, confident smile with balanced proportions.

Questions?
We're here to answer your questions and provide the best services for your needs.
What is a gummy smile?
A gummy smile occurs when too much gum tissue shows above your upper teeth when you smile, often due to overactive upper lip muscles, short upper lips, or a high gum line.
Who is a good candidate for gummy smile injections?
Anyone self-conscious about a smile that shows excessive gum above the teeth due to muscle movement is a great candidate for treatment. We recommend booking a skin consultation to meet with one of our skin experts to analyze if this treatment will help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Is a Gummy Smile procedure painful?
Discomfort is very minimal. The injections are quick, and most people feel only a tiny pinch.
Is there any downtime or side effects for a Gummy Smile treatment?
No downtime is required. You may notice slight redness or swelling at the injection site, which goes away quickly.
Can a Gummy Smile treatment be combined with other procedures?
Absolutely! It’s often paired with other injectables or cosmetic dental treatments for a fully rejuvenated smile. We recommend booking a skin consultation to meet with one of our skin experts so they can create a custom treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
