What is a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile occurs when excessive gum tissue is visible when you smile, creating an imbalanced appearance between your teeth and gums. This condition affects up to 25% of adults and can significantly impact confidence and self-esteem.
The ideal smile shows minimal gum tissue - typically 1-3mm above the upper teeth. When more than 4mm of gum is visible, it's considered a gummy smile that can benefit from targeted Botox treatment.
Effectiveness of Botox for Gummy Teeth
In a 2016 study conducted in a dermatology clinic, 99.6 per cent of the women saw a significant difference in their smiles after two weeks.
Patients experienced significant improvement in their smile aesthetics within just 2 weeks of treatment
Common Causes Of A Gummy Smile
Among many causes behind your gummy smile, the most common ones are as follows:
Extended or enlarged gums
Hyperactive upper lip that elevates excessively when smiling
Vertical Maxillary Axis or overgrowth of upper jaw
Smaller teeth in comparison to gums due to genetic factors
Short upper lip anatomy creating excessive gum exposure

Expert Gummy Smile Treatment in London
Cosmedocs offers the most advanced gummy smile Botox treatments in London, located in our prestigious Harley Street clinic. Our experienced cosmetic doctors specialize in correcting excessive gum display through precise Botox injections that target the levator labii superioris muscle. This innovative approach reduces overactive muscle contraction that causes the upper lip to lift too high during smiling, revealing excessive gum tissue. Our treatment protocol begins with comprehensive facial analysis to understand your unique muscle anatomy and smile dynamics. We then strategically inject small amounts of Botox into specific muscle points to achieve optimal smile proportions while maintaining natural facial expressions. The procedure takes just 15-20 minutes and requires no downtime, making it an ideal solution for busy professionals seeking smile enhancement. Results begin appearing within 3-5 days and reach full effect after 10-14 days, lasting approximately 3-4 months. Our patients appreciate the subtle yet transformative results that enhance their confidence and create more balanced facial aesthetics. We use only premium-grade Botox products and follow strict medical protocols to ensure safety and efficacy. The treatment is suitable for most adults with excessive gum display caused by overactive lip muscles, and our expert assessment determines candidacy during your initial consultation. Post-treatment care is minimal, with patients able to return to normal activities immediately while avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Regular maintenance treatments help sustain optimal results and can be scheduled every 3-4 months. Our Harley Street location provides a luxurious and discreet environment for your treatment, with state-of-the-art facilities and the highest medical standards. Book your consultation today to discover how gummy smile Botox can transform your smile and boost your confidence.
