Gummy Smile

It is normal to show a little gum tissue when we smile. However some people believe they show ‘too much’ when smiling and only gum is seen which can cause confidence issues.

What Causes a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile is sometimes caused by a short upper lip so excessive gum tissue is revealed. It can also be caused by excessive contraction of the muscles that elevate the top lip when smiling.

There are also certain diseases and medications that are known to result in growth of excessive gum tissue, which can also great a ‘Gummy Smile’ appearance.

At Zenith Cosmetic Clinics, we believe that Botox® and Dermal Fillers represent the safest approaches, when performed by a skilled medical professional, although for some patients we may offer Dental Surgery, Surgery or Orthodontics. In most cases no there is no permanent method, although certain methods are being evaluated on a wider scale with bigger studies.
