Common Treatment Options for a Gummy Smile
At Oracle Clinics, we offer a variety of gummy smile treatment options, each chosen to address the specific cause of the excessive gum tissue and restore a confident, natural-looking smile.
Botox Injections
One of the most popular non-invasive options is Botulinum Toxin, commonly known as Botox. Botox injections target the upper lip muscles, reducing their activity, which allows the lip to cover more of the gum tissue and create a balanced smile. This treatment can make up to millimetres of gum tissue less visible and is a great choice for patients who want a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime. You can expect to see the effects of Botox treatment within a few days after treatment, with results lasting several months.
Gum Lift or Contouring
For those with extra gum tissue due to overgrowth or excess gum tissue, a gum lift (gingivectomy) or gum contouring procedure can reshape the gums. This invasive procedure involves carefully removing and sculpting the upper gum tissues to enhance the appearance of gums, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. Proper dental care and a healing process of a few weeks are essential to achieve optimal results.
Lip Filler Injections
Lip fillers are an aesthetic treatment option to add volume to the upper lip. By adding dermal fillers, the upper lip sits lower, naturally covering more of the upper gum tissues. This treatment option subtly improves the balance between the gums and teeth, resulting in beautiful smiles with a natural appearance.
