What Is Gummy Smile Correction?

Gummy smile correction is a non-surgical procedure that reduces excessive gum display when smiling. By using neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin, the upper lip’s lifting muscles are gently relaxed, resulting in a softer, more proportionate smile. This treatment offers fast, subtle enhancement with no downtime and natural-looking results.

Gummy Smile Correction Details

How Botox Corrects a Gummy Smile

Gummy smile treatment works by injecting a small amount of neuromodulator into the muscles that elevate the upper lip. By softening these muscles, the upper lip rests in a more natural position when you smile, reducing excessive gum exposure without altering your facial expressions.

A Personalized Smile Assessment

During your consultation, your provider evaluates your smile mechanics, gum visibility, lip length, and facial proportions to assess your overall dental health. This approach enables us to determine the ideal injection points and dosage to achieve the most natural and balanced result.

A Quick, Comfortable Treatment Session

Most sessions take only 10–15 minutes. The injections feel like small pinches, and no anesthesia is required. Because the treatment is minimally invasive, you can return to your day immediately after your appointment.

Gradual Softening for Natural-Looking Results

Botox begins to take effect within a few days, with full improvement visible in about two weeks. Your smile will still look authentically yours, just more balanced and less gummy.

Gummy Smile Correction Recovery

There is virtually no downtime after gummy smile correction. Minor swelling, redness, or small injection marks may appear immediately after treatment but fade quickly. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and touching or massaging the area for 24 hours. Some patients initially feel a slight change in how their upper lip moves while smiling, but this sensation becomes unnoticeable as the muscles adjust. You can expect a smoother, more relaxed smile without interruption to your daily routine.


Gummy Smile Correction Results

Results typically last 3–4 months, depending on individual muscle activity. With regular maintenance, many patients enjoy longer-lasting improvement over time. Your smile will appear more proportional, confident, and aesthetically balanced, all while maintaining your natural facial expressions.

Frequently Asked Questions Gummy Smile Correction

What causes a gummy smile?

A gummy smile can result from strong lip-lifting muscles, a short upper lip, excessive gum tissue, or the vertical growth pattern of the upper jaw.

How soon will I see results?

Most patients see initial improvement within 3–5 days, with full results appearing at around two weeks.

Can gummy smile treatment affect my ability to speak or eat?

No. When performed correctly, the treatment only softens excessive upper lip elevation during smiling, not during functional movements.

Is this treatment suitable for all types of gummy smiles?

Botox is ideal for muscular gummy smiles. If gum tissue or bone structure is the primary cause, combination treatments may be recommended.

How often will I need maintenance?

Most patients schedule treatments every 3–4 months; however, consistent use may prolong the duration of the results.
