Treat Your Gummy Smile at FINESSE Institute for Aesthetics

A gummy smile, also known as excessive gingival display, occurs when too much gum tissue shows above the top teeth when you smile. This can affect self-esteem and social interactions, as the focus shifts from your lips and teeth to your gums.

Causes of a Gummy Smile

There are several reasons for a gummy smile, including:

  • Hyperactive Upper Lip Muscles: Overactive muscles elevate the upper lip too much.
  • Thin Upper Lip: A thinner lip can expose more gum.
  • Genetics: Inherited traits can include a hyperactive or short lip.
  • Bone Structure: The shape of your jaw and teeth can contribute.
  • Dental Issues: Problems with teeth size or alignment.
  • Gum Characteristics: Long or enlarged gums.

Personalized Botulinum Toxin Treatment for Gummy Smile

At FINESSE Institute for Aesthetics, we offer a specialized Botox treatment to address gummy smiles. This minimally invasive procedure is quick and effective, helping you achieve a balanced, confident smile.

How Bottulinum Toxin Works for Gummy Smile

Botulinum toxin acts as a muscle relaxant. When injected into the muscles around your nostrils and mouth, it reduces the hyperactivity that causes a gummy smile. The procedure typically shows results within 5-7 days, giving you an elevated smile with less gum showing.

What to Expect

  • Consultation: During your free consultation, we’ll discuss your concerns and goals to ensure this treatment is right for you.
  • Procedure: The treatment involves small Botulinum toxin injections on each side of your nostrils and along the nose-to-mouth lines. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Results: You’ll begin to see results within a week, enjoying a more confident smile.

Post-Treatment Care

There is no downtime with our Botox treatment for a gummy smile, but for the first 24 hours, you should avoid:

  • Touching the treatment area
  • Exercising
  • Sleeping face down

A little bruising might occur, which can be easily covered with makeup. We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.

A gummy smile, also known as excessive gingival display, occurs when too much gum tissue shows above the top teeth when smiling. This can detract attention from the lips and teeth, making them appear smaller than usual.

Several factors can cause a gummy smile, including:

• Hyperactive muscles that elevate the upper lip
• A thin upper lip exposing more gum tissue
• Genetics, leading to a hyperactive or short lip
• Bone structure
• Problems with the teeth or their size
• Long or enlarged gums

Botulinum toxin acts as a muscle relaxant. When injected, it weakens the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip too high. A small Botulinum toxin injection is administered at both sides of the nostril and nose-to-mouth lines, reducing muscle hyperactivity and minimizing gum exposure when smiling.

The treatment takes a few minutes and starts showing results within 5-7 days. The muscles’ reduced activity leads to a more balanced smile with less gum showing.

 

There is no downtime after the Botulinum toxin treatment for a gummy smile. However, for the next 24 hours, you should avoid:

• Touching the treated area
• Exercising
• Sleeping face down

 

Most patients experience little to no side effects. Some may have minor bruising, which can be easily concealed with makeup. Any discomfort is usually minimal and temporary.

 

The results of Botulinum toxin treatment for a gummy smile typically last for 3-4 months. Regular follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain the desired smile.

 

The FINESSE Institute offers expert advice and high-quality Botulinum toxin treatments for gummy smiles. With fully qualified aesthetic doctors, patients receive premium care. FINESSE Institute’s goal is ensuring that all treatments meet exacting standards and deliver natural, effective results.
