Gummy Smile Before & After
How Does Gummy Smile Fix Work?
Also known as excessive gingival display, the gummy smile appears when a large part of the gums (more than 4 mm) is visible when you smile.
Women are more predisposed to this and, although it’s not a concerning dental condition, it can considerably affect your self-confidence.
Many patients who have a gummy smile feel embarrassed to smile, and even avoid doing so in public.
Until recently, surgical orthodontic procedures were the only way to correct a gummy smile, but now you can achieve an aesthetically pleasing smile with Botox injections.
When used for cosmetic purposes, Botox acts as a muscle relaxant.
During the procedure, a tiny amount of Botox will be injected into the muscle responsible for lifting the upper lip.
This relaxes the muscle and lowers the lip so that when you smile, the upper lip doesn’t rise above the teeth as much.
The injections can be adjusted depending on the desired results.
The effects are not permanent and usually last between 8 to 12 weeks.

We want our patients to enjoy the best possible results when having Botox injections, which is why we collaborate with Prof. Dr. Milvia Di Gioia.
She is an experienced facial aesthetics practitioner on the UK Government approved Save Face register, who will first sit down with you for an initial consultation and discuss your needs.
Depending on how pronounced the excessive gingival display is, she will recommend the right Botox dosage for graceful results that highlight your natural beauty.
